But having built a lot of rigs from scratch and from kits, I'm simply ruined for manufactured ham gear. But it's a moot point anyway. There's nothing on the market that directly competes with the Elecraft rigs. Sure, there are other QRP rigs, some of them very good - but they're all different enough from the KX1, K1 or K2 that direct comparison is somewhat difficult. Are there any "mainstream" ham rigs with the K2's capabilities, where the mfr uses no "house parts", gives complete service and alignment info, and will sell you any part in any quantity, no questions asked? 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
