Sorry, did not intend to descend into jargon. In contests there are
"usually," not all contests are the same, two separate entry classes.
M/S is Multi-Single ... multiple operators who take turns on one radio
[i.e. transmitter]. M/M is Multi-Multi ... multiple operators who
operate more than one transmitter. Generally, M/M means multiple
operators, two transmitters, but sometimes it can be more than two rigs.
Probably the ultimate M/M is a DXPedition, Field Day runs a close second
although Field Day is not a contest if you believe the official word.
The problem that confronts any group of multiple operators, regardless
of the number of radios, is that they are all going to share a radio,
and everyone likes their's different. Steve's question seems to be, and
apparently this has been a discussion up in the Frozen North, "Does the
very significant configurability of the K3 present a problem in
multi-operations when each operator wants his own?"
Welcome to the hobby, Hoop! If your experience is anything like mine
has been for 60 years, it's a continual learning experience.

What do “M/M” and “M/S” refer to?
I’m a new ham and still learning.
