I need to do some more experimenting to get a better handle on this, but
I think it just depends on conditions. With the K3 preamp off on a
quiet band (e.g. VHF) you definitely want the mod. On 80 meters in the
summertime it's not necessary. If you don't do the mod you might need
to use the preamp more often than you otherwise would.
There's no reason not to do the modification other than the hassle
factor. The P3 automatically bypasses its own preamplifier if the
signal starts to over-range.
