I would have agreed with Duane until I started using the keyer built into the Original Orion. I HAD been using two K3s for many years, but now if you want a better QRQ keyer, the Orion has it. The internal keyer beats the pants off anything I have used over the years. The only drawback is the 60wpm limit. At 60, its perfect. 73, Don W3WW
