I certainly felt that way when listening on the  Orion.  The AGC was never 
right.  Users tried adjusting the Hang,  Slope, Delay and Threshold to no avail. 
 The radio always sounded  noisy.  

Unless my ears deceive me, I think the K3 is much  better.  Will have to wait 
for the empirical data because I don't have an  analog radio to compare.
