Doug, Personal opinion -- While that seems to be a good suggestion, I don't think it is likely to happen. The DSP board has a lot of closely spaced 0603 SMD components. I can just imagine the flurry of support questions that would result from such a kit. Note that all other K3 mods offered by Elecraft have both leaded components and SMD parts and the SMD parts to be changed are not in densely packed areas of a board. The DSP board appears to be quite different in that respect - I do not believe there are a lot of K3 owners who have proper SMD rework stations at their workbench, and I certainly would not try making such changes with normal tools for working with leaded components.
