Oh, and is upgrading to the KDB worth the 300 renown?

I think the upgrade is worth it, as it increases the angle at which you can hear things. The KDB has a blind spot to aft, while the regular one (IIRC, I never use it, I always immediately upgrade it), is limited to a narrow band forward. I think though, that if you listen manually, then the blind spots are ignored, but your sonar guy is still affected by them.
