Don, I never said anything about whether or not changes should be made. I just stated that without making some changes to a stock K3 the station would be at a disadvantage to stations that have configured the K3 to take advantage of the settings under contest conditions. In most M/M stations using K3's the operators know how to use and setup the K3. Doing this on the fly is not much of a problem but I know of some M/M that lock the K3 so most settings can't be changed by the operators. Some of the contesters without knowing the settings come away not liking the K3 for contest use. That depends on the operators operating the M/M. My suggestion is press those buttons and turn those knobs. Get to know what does what and set your K3 up that is the best for your operating style. But remember contests require a different setup than just chatting. And most of the time several changes need to be made during the contest.
