Well the main reason as I said in my post that I sent about the same time
you were writing yours is that it is a hassle changing all the EQ, switching
the input from MIC to LINE IN and remembering to turn off the compression.
Of course some people may work digi all the time and never use a mic, in
which case it would be the most sensible option. But I don't want to go
through all that when I hear someone on SSB that I would like to call. Plus,
many programs know what mode the K3 is in and won't do data if SSB is
selected.

Yes, although as long as the power is below 100W the IMD should still be
within acceptable limits.
