[Elecraft] KSYN3 mods to date, corrected third mod applicability

[Bill W4ZV]

If a KSYN3 was completely unmodified, the mods should be done as follows:

1.  SMD version (only) of KSYN3 ALC.
2.  K3SYN DDS Gain (your #3 below).
3.  KSYN3 Stiffener (your #2 below).

This way there's no rework.  Also remember that the DDS Gain mod is not
necessary for the Sub RX KSYN3 (if you do not later accidentally swap KSYN3
boards), and the recent Stiffener mod is not necessary if the internal
speaker is not used during transmit (e.g. for those who use an external
speaker or headphones). 

Sorry you must redo your ALC mod with SMD.  I would need to do the same if I
needed the Stiffener mod.

73,  Bill
