[Elecraft] [K3] factory upgrade to K3(s)

[Wes Stewart]

I have an old K3 that came with the pre-stiffener plate synthesizer.  I 
discovered the microphonic issue ten years ago and my radio was the first to get 
the stiffener plate mod.  So, it's old.

I also have a K3S so the old radio is a spare.  For some silly reason after all 
of these years I decided to upgrade the synthesizer and just did it last week.  
I haven't evaluated it on the air but listening to a clean signal source I 
didn't notice this huge difference everyone else is excited about.  But at my 
age I'm not easily excited.  YMMV.
