I think the NORM's remember your roofing filter settings as well as the 
DSP when you do the <- SAV -> drill.  As I said, I haven't really used 
them except to try it out.  You should be able to set one up with your 
"no QRM" setting, and the other with a narrower filter and restricted 
DSP, and toggle between them:

HOLD the knob in until <- NOR -> appears, then, still holding, rotate 
CCW [NORM1] or CW [NORM2].  You don't have to rotate the knob very far, 
maybe only one encoder pulse?

I have just the "stock" CW and SSB roofing filters that come with the 
K3, and they switch when I run the DSP thru 500Hz so the "normalize" 
functions don't hold a whole lot of value for me.  I can see that, if 
you have additional roofing filters they could be much more useful.

No "knob knowledge tests" for NCCC but there are a bunch of K3's in the 
members' shacks, Tom, K5RC has four at two SO2R op positions at W7RN.
