Thanks. Still in recovery, but doing fine.

Yes, VERY worthwhile, and very easy to do. At least 10 dB improvement in 
phase noise on both TX and RX. This translates to less QRM both to and 
from another rig near you and in a contest or DX pileup. I've seen 
several measurements of this by guys with close-in neighbors.  It's also 
worth replacing the KXV3 with the KXV3B to get the new preamp. That's 
more of a shoehorn job, and can involve loss of hair. :)

I heard. We've been in contact.  He sounds better.
