Yes. The K3 and Orion are quite comparable in value and features. NOT 
IDENTICAL -- but in the same ballpark of quality and cost. My 100W K3 with 
Antenna Tuner, module with connections for VHF transceivers and multiple 
antennas, module with bandpass filters to make it a general coverage RX, and 
a 400 Hz roofing filter cost me $2,705 with CA sales tax, as a kit. The kit 
takes about 10 hours to assemble, and saves you a bit more than 10%.
