Re: [Elecraft] MOJO
I don't think the MOJO will get overwritten with more additions. Instead it is muliplied so, that there is more MOJO! From Mojo to MAJOR MOJO.

This has been documented many times on this reflector. Where is the Mojo in these radios? Hardware is hardware. The careful selection of hardware and how it is put together, at least for me does not explain the Mojo. I have a K1, #1423, and have felt the Mojo many times. From my Georgia QTH to Oregon to get into ECN, Kevin once remarked that he heard me by ESP and that Wayne was working on a better ESP filter. That to me comfirms that Mojo it tweakable. 300 MW to work VP6DX shows that the K3 Mojo it still there. My theory is that Mojo it must be in the software. The K1, KX1 and K2 have fixed Mojo, not easy to upgrade. I am waiting for a K3, ordered in October. I am begining to worry about the K3 Mojo. So many wish lists and changes to the software. Is the file length of K3 upgrades getting longer and longer? Will the K3 memory hold all these wish list items? At some point will the upgrades overwrite the original Mojo that is hidden in the memory and then some of it will be lost?

Re: [Elecraft] Mojo
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.

Re: [Elecraft] Mojo
I appreciate being able to fire up my K2 and enjoy whatever HF operating suits the moment. I can't say its clearly superior to other rig choices that could be in my shack, but it is there, and I assembled it myself. Original motivation was to experience the build, and use it as a QRP supplement to my higher powered rig. Then i discovered an interest in low-band DX - i wanted a rig with a receiver 'at least as good as a K2.' Well the other options were less affordable than upgrading my K2 (and I already knew how to use it, so i thought). So I am enjoying 80m propagation (which is quite interesting) with my K2/100 and a modest vertical. And I decided it's time for an autotuner for more seamless operating in the next contest (particularly on 80m where CW spectral use does expand up the band). Nice the same rig can QRP, as we have enjoyed using K2's in FD battery class (we had 4 available last year, and now another participant has built a K2 so now there are 5 around representing 3-digit thru the latest serial numbers. Yes a list that was once merely people who soldered their rigs together has expanded a bit. In 2008 the K3 matters should settle down a bit, and folk will continue to use and advance their K2's. These rigs are 'merely' windows into enjoying what propagation (and what antennas we can deploy) allows. So those of us with mere K2's or K1's or KX1's can continue to thrive. 73, curt --- Goody K3NG [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was away from this reflector for several years after I built my K1 (#505), just due to email volume and other things going on.

I have been watching the smoothed sunspot number climb from 0 to 29 over the past several days, and the solar flux has finally crept up a bit (at 78 as I write this).

I've gotten his attention a couple of times, but he could never copy my K2's mighty 5W (+mojo) signal. Until today. He gave me 339, which was probably generous, and QSL'd my 559. Got him Wed.
