Hi Bob, (...& the group, of course.)

While not the K3 v. Orion, I do have some experience with the K1 & K2 v. the 
Jupiter & Argonaut V. They are all stable-mates in my shack. From a purist's 
point of view, the Elecraft rigs' scientific measurement data cannot be 
disputed. Elecraft wins, hands down.

>From a more casual "enjoyment factor" aspect, all the above named rigs are 
an absolutely joy to operate. (I'm a sucker for an analog meter, hence my 
affection for the Argo V.) If absolute receiver performance is your aim 
though, I doubt you can go wrong with any Elecraft rig. (The mojo's an added 
benefit.)

Wishing you all a very safe, healthy and happy new year. Take care es...
