There are no 'must haves'.  A soft start mod is nice because it will
eliminate 
the thump on startup and possibly make the on-off switch last longer.  A QSK
mod 
is nice because it will permit CW break in and SSB VOX operation without hot

switching.  I myself wouldn't change the factory parasitic suppressor.

::Stock AL-80B already has a soft-start of sorts (series resistor shorted by
a relay several cycles after turn-on), there's not much strain on the power
switch and no turn-on thump. -WB2WIK/6
