[K3] K3DSPUPGD or K3DSPLPF

Continuing on this thread, I understand to make the K3DSPUPGD mod oneself is very hard. I can make the K3DSPLPF mod with no problem. Do people think the K3DSPUPGD would be of benefit to my failing 56 year old ears?
Just how much does better response below 300 Hz help?

---------------
Since I'm having the P3 shipped, I might as well have some other outstanding mods shipped too.

I've read the instructions for K3DSPLPF and don't think I'd have any trouble making that mod.

I'd like some advice from those that have done or considered it, is it worth getting the K3DSPUPGD instead, does it give me anything that the K3DSPLPF does not?

I also find I have a RXAMDKT, but don't see that on the web site - what is that mod?

Re: [K3] K3DSPUPGD or K3DSPLPF

I ordered a K3DSPUPGD on 1/1/10 and still haven't received anything. Do not believe the quoted 4-5 week lead time estimate on the website. A very unsatisfactory situation!

Re: [K3] K3DSPUPGD or K3DSPLPF

The upgrade program delays seem to stem from delays in the exchange
board return from customers. Probably from not being able to install
the new board immediately.

Those who have sent their own board to Elecraft in advance for a
direct exchange have received swift service. Apparently modified
directly and returned the same board, upgraded. This is the tack I am
going to take.

The turn around time when I sent my board in for the upgrade was 7 days
using USPS Priority Mail.

Re: [K3] K3DSPUPGD or K3DSPLPF

Not to mention gentelmen... If you took good ESD precaution why not try
to hold onto your own board rather than risking getting one from someone
who was less careful...

Re: [K3] K3DSPUPGD or K3DSPLPF

In reply to this post by Larry - K2GN

Sending it in is no option for me. It would take about 4-5 weeks only for the shipping from Europe to US and back. I don't have a backup radio, so this could cause serious withdrawal symptoms ;)
So I will continue waiting patiently.

Elecraft will allow for long shipping delays from EUrope to US and at a slow transit speed.
