K3 Equalization Memories - Missing?

WB6MND
I'm a new K3 owner and enjoying the unit for all the reasons already stated by others.

But unless I've missed something, there are no memories for the K3 TX and RX Equalization settings.  Is that correct?

It would be extremely helplful to have such memories.

For example:

I would like one Rcv Eq setting for weak CW signals, where I kick up 400 hz +10 db or so and drop the other eq bands.  This would help me pull the weak CW sigs out of the noise better.  Obviously this setting would not be used for SSB or strong CW sigs, where I'd want a flatter eq curve.

I'd like one Tx Eq setting for local ragchew work, maximizing bandwidth and freq response for best audio quality.  Obviously, this setting would not be good for DX.  For DX, I'd want more punch where the midrange is kicked up and the freq extremes are diminished.

Having several eq memories would allow this flexibility.  As it is, each set of eq curves for different purposes must be manually entered.  That's awkward and time consuming.

If I've missed something and this feature already exists - great.  If it doesn't, it would be nice to have it.

I was kind of hoping that the EQ settings were saved when you save a
config?  Having a licensed XYL it would be handy to save 2 configs, one
for me and one for her.  Of course the settings would be different for
each of us.

I've had the same thought.  I assume that eventually we'll have some software support with a nice GUI to set/save EQ settings on a PC.  But perhaps recruiting M1-M4 buttons to somehow save/restore 4 RX EQ and 4 TX EQ settings would be really nice.
