Well, these are always problems.

1) To avoid the guy 2.5KHz away, cut the high frequency cut off down low. I frequently operate it at 2.05 or 2.15 KHz. I keep the low frequency cutoff much more constant at .25 to .36 KHz. This procedure will keep most of the interfering signal out of the audio.

2) That weak DX is always a problem. If he is running split and you have a subreceiver, then adjust the two receiver AF volume control differently. If the loud signal is on the same frequency, you can try to adjust the AGC parameters to "even out" the audio. The AGC SLP parameter is the one to look at first, but a warning. It is an advanced control, and requires TECH MD ON to adjust. Many on the list think the K3 comes set too flat already. But you can always return the settings to the default listed in the manual if you don't like your results.

1. During contests, how to best adjust to hear the station and not the guy 
2.5KHz away

2. When trying to hear the weak DX, not be blasted by that guy from Florida or Texas running a kilowatt.
