I have an old K3 that came with the pre-stiffener plate synthesizer.  I
discovered the microphonic issue ten years ago and my radio was the first to get
the stiffener plate mod.  So, it's old.

I also have a K3S so the old radio is a spare.  For some silly reason after all
of these years I decided to upgrade the synthesizer and just did it last week. 
I haven't evaluated it on the air but listening to a clean signal source I
didn't notice this huge difference everyone else is excited about.  But at my
age I'm not easily excited.  YMMV.
