I have my menu setting for both internal speaker and headphones, I have a small wire stereo plug with a right angle plugged in all the time the small stereo wire lead goes back under the radio and connects to a cable that comes out under the operating table where I remove and plug in my head phones this saves the ware and tear of the jack on the K3 and keeps the clutter in front of the radio down to nothing I do the same with the mic input folding the cable under the radio and out the back.
I find the difference to my head phones a small annoyance as I need to adjust for loudness turn it down each time I put on the head phones. My headphones are the Snenheiser HD 280 pro compared to the internal speaker the headphones have much more gain. Part of this annoyance is the fact the room noise is less with the head phones on the moni needs to be up a lot for internal speaker usage for me.Tracking the side tone is not a thing I would want I need to get some external speakers going, I just don't have the room for them so I use the internal speaker. I still have the Alpha Delta speaker with the amp in it which was what I used for ten years or more on my Yaesu hf radios now the K3 sits in its place on top of my FT2000 DMU U-tuning kit radio which has not been used but 3 times to transmit since the born on date of June 13 09 of my K3 guess the solution is to sell the Yaesu to make room take a bath on cost and put the Alpha Delta speaker back in use that would fix the moni loudness issue. For the reasons posted running with the AGC off I would not want the function to change over either.
