Mojo? My K2 still has plenty of it! I am still amazed at the contacts I make with it. Built in 1999, S/N 0539, is the stock (no mods), not revision B, 15w capable QRP rig. It has never been in a SSB QSO, but does have the KSB2 module. I've toased finals twice and performs well at home, on the trail, or in the travel trailer. My most memorable contact was to Antartica on 30 meters running 3 watts to an inverted L while camping in Northcentral Arizona.
It took me a long time to get used to the superior RX of the K2, and for a while I was so spoilled, I did not ever operate my Kenwood TS-850S/AT which also has an excellent RX. These days, my K2 is my favorite contest rig and run everything from milliwat to 300 watts (K2 driving an AL-811H). There are many things I would like to change about my K2, but can hardly fathom the thought of modifying my pristine K2. Elecraft Forever! K2 Mojo, the real deal.

I returned recently when I heard of the K3. Several years ago there were a lot of "mojo" posts that gave you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. You'd hear of folks' first QSOs with a K1 or K2 or the gazillion miles per watt contacts or just everyday yet memorable contacts. You could feel the mojo. Does your rig and the operator on that key or mic still have that mojo? Let's hear about. 72 Goody -- Blog: http://thek3ngreport.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
