[Elecraft] DIY DSP Rev D

[Brett Howard]

It says things on the website that lead me to believe this:

Note that some of the upgrade Rev D DSPs may have their assembly
revision level marked by hand, and its possible a few not have been
marked with new Rev D, but if the LPF piggyback board is added on those
DSP boards, or if they have the Rev D assembly marking, they are Rev D.

I have a rev B board that I've added the LPF board onto and I've also
done the 100uF C9/C13 mods...  I just don't want to be putting in pretty
much the same board when mine arrives.
