Unless you change microphones or operators, transmit audio equalization should be pretty much a "set and forget" type calibration.
I'm a little nervous about making this an "official" feature, because the signal level is not well-controlled. It depends on stray leakage through a balanced mixer and "blow-by" past a couple of PIN diode switches. If the mixer in a particular K3 happens to be very well balanced or the PIN diodes have extra-low capacitance, there may not be enough signal level to adjust the equalizer properly. It also depends on frequency band and transmit power level. There may be a better way to do this. It's on my list of things to look at as soon as I get time.
