Gee, you must change this stuff a LOT more often than I do. Of course, I 
only make about 15,000 QSOs a year, and I only work 160M to 6M, and I 
only work CW, SSB, RTTY, JT65, and FSK441. The only things I typically 
change while I'm operating are RIT/XIT (that's a knob on the front panel 
of the K3), the Main Tuning Knob, and the IF bandwidth (there's a visual 
display on the K3, and if you move the bandwidth knob you will see the 
current setting). But my EARS give me a pretty good idea of what the IF 
bandwidth is.

I can't remember when the last time was that I changed the Mic Gain or 
the Compression, or the built-in TXEQ and RXEQ settings.  I don't think 
it's been this year. :)
