I agree on this point: The Orions are now being challenged by both
Elecraft as well as Flex Radio with their new Flex 5000a (the next
radio I am buying). Its time they stopped working on new products and
defend the Orion brand by getting the firmware in bullet proof shape.
They made some great progress with this last release. Its time to
spend another 3 months and knock out a worlds best NR and those
annoying little "features".
Personally, until I find a better contesting rig i will be hard
pressed to sell my O2. But, I could find the Flex 5000a is a better
contest rig.......

I just wandered over to www.Elecraft.com and saw the announcement
of the
K3. Very nice! If I were shopping now, I'd have to consider it
seriously against the Orion - at apx half the price.
Thoughts?
