Thanks Thomas.  Gary set me straight on that  one too.  I guess it is 
easy to accidentally change some settings  without realizing it.

OK, time to be  brutally frank about the K3. I love the rig and it's shaping 
up to the best  radio I've ever owned.
I still haven't even tried out any of the buttons to the right of the afx!  
Just got done wringing out the mic process.
 
BUT, what don't I like ( or more correctly what would I like to see  changed.
 
A)  It's too easy to bump the VFO A dial while in the Menu Modes and  change 
an off to an on. It took Microsoft 20 years to build a half way  functional 
'UNDO' into their O/S and Apps. I'd at least like to have a glimps at  what 
changed when I went back to normal op after accessing the menus  -  maybe a quick 
list of config items with a * indicating recent changes. Even if  it's a 
download to printer it would be good to get a list that shows recent or  last 
settings on one page - something that could be scanned when things don't  look 
right.  I know this may be a reach, but you gotta ask.
 
B) It'd be nice to have the speaker selects on the 'tap once'  menu list 
instead of buried down in the CONFIG list. Can a toggle between  headphone only 
and headphone +spkr be created? I haven't started into the macro  creation phase 
yet, and I have discovered some buttons which can do a hot change  without 
going into menu, so maybe it's just something I missed earlier. For that  I 
would apologize.
