Phil, you pose some great questions. Here goes:
1. The one option I would not get is the high accuracy oscillator.but
that's just me.
2. As far as esoteric parts are concerned, Maybe Eric or Wayne should
answer that one.
I had an Orion 1 a couple of years back. But it did not have an internal
tuner. At that time
There was no upgrade path, so I looked into the Orion 2. (Too expensive) but
then learned
That the manufacturer of the signal processor in the Orion 1 had
discontinued their part!
I don't know what became of that issue but I didn't want to become a victim
of "passed repair".
I tried an OMNI VII for a few months but its receiver didn't measure up to
the Orion's.
That's when I decided to try the K3 kit and I have been totally happy with
it and support.
3. Assembly is a piece of cake, even for a 73 year old like me. There
is one caveat.
Protect your investment by using electrostatic pad and wrist strap.
Hope this helps. 73, Fred AE6IC
