Hi Barry,
Yes, you're right. The K3 has a better sub receiver (for amateur band use)
than the Orion or O II. I had forgotten about that, probably because all I
ever use the sub receiver for, besides occasional general coverage listening,
is
spotting callers in pile-ups. I find the O II sub receiver perfectly adequate
for that, in my experience anyway. I don't have a lot of strong locals to
deal with out here in the desert -- just one really, and his 160m key clicks
are
so bad that nothing can get rid of him (hi).
Sub receiver strong-signal performance is more important in a contest
situation than for what I do, so once again I suspect that a contester's choice
of
radio may be different than mine.
Tnx & 73,
Ray W2RS
