When at the remote site, set the RF and AF gain controls to your most
commonly-used positions. There are various events that cause the
remote K3 to reset the gain levels to whatever those pots are
physically set to - notably turning on or off the sub-receiver. It's
rather annoying when trying to work a weak DXpedition running split on
SSB, and I/we need to bug Wayne about this again :)
