Can the K3 toggle between two power levels?

VE3WDM

Good evening, I was in the CQ WW CW contest this weekend and was operating at 500mW's or QRPp level. There were times I had to pump the power up to 5 watts to make the contact, then bring the level back down to 500mW's. Is there a macro or other way to toggle the rig back and forth between the two (or more but don't want to get greedy) power levels?

I have macros programmed to PF1 and PF2 for 5W and 100W respectively.
It's as easy as setting Macro 1 to 'PC005;' and Macro 2 to 'PC100;' with
the K3 utility.
