K3: Rev B FP Modification for curing Hang VOX problems

[dhhdeh]

Hi Everyone,

I am about to perform some overdue mods on my K3 #371.

I notice that this mod (Rev B FP Modification for curing Hang VOX
problems) is required for K3 #'s 660 to 782 but not on those before or
after this range.

As I will have the FP off and the DSP board removed should I do it
anyway?  It involves installing a jumper between C98 and a pad on the AF
Gain/Sub control.

I guess I'm confused as to why it does not apply to earlier K3's

Help and opinion will be appreciated.

The earlier K3s had a capacitor hand-soldered to the FP board.  Later,
the capacitor was added to the FP PCB layout, but an error in that
layout required the jumper to correct.
