I completed the alignment today and put the covers on. The whole project 
really was fun and I've ended up with a professional product. I had just 2 
problems, both on the RF board. Q23 had a broken leg, causing TX instability 
(thanks to the reflector archives for pointing me in the right direction). 
Also one leg of  C161 was unsoldered, resulting in a very deaf (but quiet 
IF) receiver indeed. It was also necessary to change L31 to 12uH as I only 
had 9.3Khz swing on the PLL Reference Oscillator.

The KPA100 option has been ordered, so look forward to building that next. 
There's a blow-by-blow account with some pretty pix on my website. 
Unfortunately, I can't test out the Mojo for a while as I'm out on the road 
until the end of June, but I know I'll be impressed.

73, Dave G3VGR
