[TenTec] Elecraft K3 vs Orion?

[Neal Campbell K3NC]

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.......
