Sorry, but it's NOT *required*. It may be strongly recommended, but
it's not required. I've been using LP-Pan successfully for months
without the mod. I'm sure it's not optimal. and once in a while there
are signals that I can copy by ear through the K3 that CW Skimmer
can't decode, but to say that the mod is *required* is a bit of an
overstatement.
Perhaps not if you're happy to give away 17 dB of sensitivity. My primary use of LP-PAN is for a waterfall to detect weak signals on 160. It was obvious when I first got LP-PAN working in April 2008 that there was a major sensitivity problem.
