Yep. The most I've ever had to do is tweak VOX level, and that's VERY rare. I plug my Yamaha CM500 into the rear panel, which, by default, mutes the speaker, so I have the Speaker * Phones toggle assigned to a PF key. Since 2008, I've not found a need for the other PF key. Maybe it's VOX level. :)

I LOVE the lightweight, small footprint design of the K3 -- when I replaced a pair of FT1000MPs on my very cramped operating desk, it gave me lots of space for useful accessories. I agree with Ken Kopp -- if you want a big boat, buy one. :)

I don't understand the need for all that menu access in the first place for normal operating.  I've literally operated complete major contests (CQWW, ARRL DX, etc) without ever changing anything in the menu, and that covers dramatic changes in operating conditions (propagation, QRN, QRM, etc).  Yes, I played around with many of the settings when I first got my K3, but once I settled on what I felt were the optimum settings for the majority of my operations I haven't touched them since.  Everything I need to change on the fly is already right there on the front panel.
