Wes,

Are you certain you had all the desired parameters set in the K3 when 
you stored the M1-M4 per band memories?  I find that they do save the 
mode, frequencies, filter settings and antenna selection that you have 
requested.
I don't know about your Split Macro and the LOCK functions or the RX 
antenna because I have not tried those in my setup.

73,
