Good idea, Ken.  IMHO, using  a "Hot Key" (pun intended) approach to all of 
this will always insure that user-options can be *instantly* changed or 
selected *during* a contest if desired with rapidity.

For example, when dealing with heavy static crash condx on the low bands & 
weak signals if bad condx, one might wish to change to a different .wav 
file use option for those bands.  Using X-Keys, even a [CTRL + Shift + 
somekey] type "Hot Key" combination can be reduced to ONE BUTTON to push 
right at the keyboard, with no need to screw around with a Mouse and 
File/Menu drop downs, etc. (a personal irritation).
