The groundplane kit on an A-99 does nothing to help reception or transmission, it will however help to reduce common mode currents on the coax cable.

If you run an A-99 and have issues with RF getting into the shack creating hums or squeals or other undesirable issues, then installing the groundplane kit will help eliminate those issues.
