Just to let you all know, I did purchase and build a Sienna from DZKIT in early November. It is a very high quality kit and was lots of fun to build. So far I have built the receiver and front panel and am almost finished with the transmitter. I think half the reason I bought it was that I thought it was one of the nicest looking radios I have seen in quite some time....It is different looking ( I thought the same about the K2 when it first came out ) . I never thought of comparing it to my K3, They are obviously two different radios. Having built three K2's, a KX-1, and a K3, I needed another challenge. It's nice to see another American company Selling high quality kits, I think we still need a few more! 73, Darrell / WB6VHK
