Jeff I've not used my K3 much on SSB yet but I leave AFX continuously
enabled for CW.  I also assign my AFX menu to PF1 (just to the right of the
AFX button) so I can quickly change it.  The optimum choice of Delay setting
(1-5) seems to vary depending on the situation but I seem to leave mine on
Delay 5 most of the time.

Regarding Binaural, I'm not sure it was ever intended to be used on SSB.  I
thought it was more for spatially separating CW signals in stereo headsets
(i.e. higher pitch to one side and lower pitch to the other).  Orion had
Binaural but I found myself seldom using it after the "gee whiz" factor wore
off.
