I wouldn't put much stock in *any* performance measurements other than ARRL,
RSGB (Radcom), Sherwood or W2VJN (if George still does them).

The 5000's Main RX should be very comparable to the K3 but the Sub RX will
likely be less due to using up-conversion (similar to Orion's Sub RX).  It
remains to be seen if they have a frequency offset in diversity which was a
problem with Orion.  The 5000 does have some other nice features such as
200W, Class A SSB, etc.
