I like to homebrew some of my equipment, all, if I could produce equipment as good as Elecraft's and some of the other well known vendors. Building an amplifier is one area I believe the ham can come close to building a product as good as the average vendor's. If you are talking about tube amps, I think the ham can do a better job then many of the vendor amps. If you want a fully integrated amp for the K2 and/or K3 that will be a little harder and you might want to wait for Elecraft.
