Probably not too SSB-neighborly that way.  Not sure if this is already 
implemented, but I could almost see a need for maximum PWR and Tx 
compression settings, controlled only through the K3 utility software where 
those parameters could be set to some temporary maximum value -- say 100W 
for stand-alone K3s and ...~35W for use with amps on contest weekends where 
the K3 may be shared among several button-happy operators.   Locking down 
those parameters and making them only adjustable through utility software 
might be enough keep guest ops from experimenting with controls that can do 
the most harm on the bands.
