Hello all, just added up the cost of all features of the K3 to match what I already have in my O2...Came out to $3500! So I see the marketing hype of comparing the K3 to $4000 radios is alive and wel

I don't think I will like the display on the K3. It seems to be the same as the K2 and I never cared for it much, except that its current drain was low (which was great). I don't think this is just m

Well, sure. But let's make it a fair comparison and get close to apples to apples. If you don't want or need what comes in an Orion, you can certainly not buy it if you buy a K3. K3, sub-receiver, 1

This is rather odd. The K2 and K3 displays are rather different. The K2 display was/is a simple 7 segment LCDs with a handful of slightly cheesey chevrons for indicating features along with a couple

Rick also makes a great point - the display. My taste is for a huge, 25 inch computer monitor to be my display. Run of course by my computer, which is controlling the Rig. This was nice back when I h

I have noticed many K2's drift an objectionable amount. Some have poor keying. Just yesterday I worked a 2-day old K2/100 on 40m cw, and in that 30 minute rag chew it drifted downward 150 Hz. Hope t

I'm sure you realize that the K2 is a kit, and therefore the actual stability and consistently between radios may vary. The K3 on the other hand will have its boards factory built, which should lead

The K2 spec says < 100 Hz drift from cold start, if anyone is interested. That's not a very tight spec, but I guess Buck's 0 Hz is in tolerance. ;-) 73 Martin AA6E ___________________________________

Since the K2 is a kit, it is only as good as the assembly and adjustments made by the builder. Mine is very stable, but I took my time, and adjusted everything using a spectrum analyzer. The keying i

You are not necessarily making a complete comparison. The sub receiver in the OII is a sub, not As capable receiver as the main. The K3 sub receiver should be called a co-receiver, since it is identi
