[TenTec] Elecraft K3 vs Orion?

[Troy, W6HV]

Agree with your sentiments completely! Their competition is looking very good and may surpass them if they don't watch out. My O2 with the last release is performing well, but really would like to see the DSP do a better job at NR.

  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.......
