I am about to bite the bullet on a new Galaxy 2517, It seems most vendors offer tune/align/expand for an additional fee. Is this really needed or reccomended, if so why. Does the manufacturer not do a good enough job? Will it make that big of a difference?

I am confident that I could tweak AM power and mod if needed but don't have the equipment to align one properly. I do not plan to expand any further than the jumper that opens 11M will that require the alignment?

You should be able to do it. It's quite simple. I did just the jumper and power adjustment. And that radio sreams. The only problem with that radio is that it will not do 28.300-28.500 Mhz at all.
