I wasn't hearing the noise at all and was "maybe" barely hearing the
noise w/ no antenna connected.  I don't think I'd have noticed it unless
someone told me to look though...

There will be no unintended results as long as you carry out the mod as
intended.  

Good luck!  I've installed (and tested) the receiver protection mod and
it works a trick!  Gives some very nice piece of mind for a radio that
makes it out into the field every year for FD!
