There is no harm in leaving TECH MD set to ON, but there is exposure for those "playing in the menu" to undo the calibration settings that fall under the requirement to have tech mode turned on. So when used at the home station, fumble fingers is the major exposure. Now -- for Field Day and other occasions where others operating your K3 might try changing settings 'just to see what happens', you may want to turn TECH MD off during that event.

I think it's for Field Day or contests where someone else may be operating the rig. It keeps
some of the more critical items a bit better hidden.

I've wondered why there's an "OFF" mode for TECH MODE.  Mine's never
been off since I first turned it on. There's likely a reason, but I'm not
aware
of it.
