When I built K2 # 54xx last May 2006, I had high hope of eventually sending the completed K2 back into "Elecraft's Service Dept" and having it aligned and checked over by the experts. I would have been willing to spend that extra $$$.
But - Elecraft Inc. said NO. At which point I came to believe that Elecraft Inc. has no service dept. Sounds like a good opportunity, for us 5800+ K2's alone - to offer this professional factory service. I've often felt - should the 4 or 5 experts on the email list - ever drop out or go away, we'd be left fully on our own! Possibly the K2 email list archives - would helm us through these troubled waters. Or other experts would surface. Luckily, my K2 build came thru with flying colors, and with the help of Spectrogram - even the filter setup, went seemingly well. But the notion, that "many K2's are out there in poor alignment and in poor performance shape" - is a little scarey. Do you remember the Heathkit Color TV Kits? It was a handfull to build, and it too even had its own test and alignment circuits inside. I don't recall what Heathkit's position was on Service Department?
