Maybe not for you. 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?
