Just another viewpoint. I do some contesting using primarily two
K-2/100's. I had a Ten Tec Orion that was a superb radio. I sold it to
order a K-3, but decided to cancel my order. I still may order one, but
I decided that for my purposes, the K-2 is the rig for me. It is simple
to operate, has an excellent receiver, and has everything adjustable
that I want to adjust. For me, a relatively new ham, the Orion sounded
too much like DSP for exclusive CW usage. although I could understand
the opportunities it provided for adjusting and tuning, I found I just
didn't use all of the options. I think the same thing would be true for
me with the K-3. On the other hand, I really like the band display on
the Orion, and I miss that. I plan to try to incorporate that with the
K-2 using a Softrock Lite kit. O have only been licensed almost four
years, I operate exclusively CW, and I thoroughly enjoyed building the
K-2/100 and KX-1. elecraft is a wonderful company, and the K-3 is
obviously a terrific rig for those who need a more complex radio. But
for me right now, I am going to try to resist ordering the best for
awhile....73, Ci
