risk is any off frequency noise from the sound card, harmonics etc
will also get transmitted not really a big issue if the sound card is
good quality.

Not quite accurate ... one can have a professional quality sound card
and if the levels are too high, the connections are not correct, the
ground gets opened, one has a significant degree of common mode RF on
the feedline, one has power supply issues, etc. DATA_A can be very
badly distorted/wide.  AFSK A is not subject to those issues as long
as the narrow filter (CONFIG: AFSK TX) is enabled.

With AFSK-A  the K3  has very a narrow DSP filter to maintain a really
good transmit IMD  so you need to keep the modulating frequencies
within  the chosen preset filter range  1275 in my setup.  You can use
the waterfall to tune but you need to use DATA-A instead of AFSK-A risk

frequency  so tuning with the VFO was quite convenient without the P3  I
may have been more tempted to use Data-A and tuning with the mouse

Why only tune the radio, and not use the Waterfall?
