[Elecraft] K3 & M/M Contest stations

[Don Wilhelm]

Keith,

That may be true, but if it is, each operator will know how to set it up 
to his preferences.
I say again, if he does not know how to set it up, he should leave it 
alone.  In the midst of a contest is not the time to be fiddling with 
things to find out what each operator wants.  A bit of education and 
practice with settings beforehand *can* make such operator changeovers 
smooth.

Perhaps your group can agree on some compromise settings that will work 
suitably for all.
After all, DXPeditions using multiple operators seem to do something 
like that with success.  Setting up for a contest should be no more 
difficult.
