Well I'm really glad I posted this question. With the contest running I was 
able to try the suggestions and I've learned a lot. I'm now using the data 
mode AFSK A at a wider bandwidth when activity is light. I can narrow the 
bandwidth as activity increases.

I implemented settings in MixW based on VE3KI's suggestions which allows me 
to pick a signal on the waterfall off of center frequency and then using an 
align macro button I can bring that signal into the center of the passband. 
Then if conditions require I can press the K3 dual passband button to 
optimize the bandwidth for that one signal. So I'm basically using MixW to 
autospot the signal using its AFC and then move the signal into the center 
of the K3 filter passband.

I suppose it would be better if I fully understood what I was doing. But why 
press my luck.
