Hmmm . . .  I happen to have recently read WA1SEO's Orion2 review on eham. 
He reported spending just "a couple of hours behind a K3"  and he was a
fairly new owner of the Orion2 at that time.  I'm sure Mike heard what he
heard, but his report is clearly anecdotal, rather than definitive.

I don't understand K3 bashing after just a couple of hours of use.  To say
the Orion(2) is more refined and more finished than the K3 is certainly a
stretch in my eyes, after 4.5 years on the Orion.  

All that being said, I actually think they're both very good radios.
