Hi Vern, I did my own Inrad mod, but I used the surface mount devices and it 
was a little tricky. I used a pair of reading glasses AND a magnifying glass 
to get a good view. I also managed it with a pencil soldering iron, 30 watt 
which I don't recommend. It came out excellent, cant tell the solder points are 
any different than factory. It would be alot easier for someone equipped for 
SMD's.

As far as an improvment in SSB audio, I would say it helped some, but not as 
dramatically as I expected. The biggest benefit I saw was it smoothed the AGC 
action out when using the DSP NR on the 6+. 

I also have a Kenwood TS570D, and as far as I'm concerned, the Kenwood audio 
wins hands down on SSB for ragchewing (much fuller and richer sound.)

It helps, But don't expect a dramtic change.
