I would suggest a more flexible solution. Implement a connector for a
flash drive or another readily available format of a removable memory
card. If the card is inserted, use the data that is stored on the card,
but if it is not present, use that which is stored in the K3. That
would certainly make one's operating preferences portable and usable on
any K3 - but does not diminish the operation of the radio if the memory
card is not available.

EQ being the most obvious example, keyer settings and stored messages

As for 'presumably limited resources', the MCU has 2Mbits of flash
memory for storage of static data (and another 2Mbits for dynamic
data). Given the trivial number of bits that individual user profiles
would actually need, I don't think this request would break the bank.
