John,

It is not a list of Mouser part numbers, but the parts list in the manuals contains the device designation numbers for all the active devices as well as the Elecraft part numbers. Armed with that information, one can easily use the search line at DigiKey, Mouser, Newark, Allied, etc to find the part numbers used by that supplier. In my experience, Digkey has more items in stock, so I go there first, then fill in anything not in-stock there from Mouser and others. That is really an advantage since the Mouser and Digikey part numbers can change from time to time (as they have with the parts going to RoHS compliant) for the same or equivalent part. The old part numbers may not be available, but by using the device numbers (i.e. LM358), one can order the parts even though if the supplier part numbers change (and you can pick your favorite manufacturer).

Homebrewers have been doing this for a long time, and those who have been so 'helpful' as to publish a list of supplier numbers (PC board and kit suppliers) are deluged with questions about substitutes when the supplier changes the part number. It is the device ID number that is important, not any particular supplier's number.

I can see that this question has been asked in the past, but appears not to have been answered. Can Elecraft share, assuming it has one, its list of Mouser part numbers for the K2 and its options? I feel that Elecraft must lose money on parts orders which come its way, and I would just as soon order from Mouser where I can add some other things to the order to hopefully make the order profitable for them.
