K3 SO2V in digital modes

Dave G3WGN M6O
It seems the current firmware will not allow me to use FSK on VFO A and PSK63 on VFO B.  The annual national contesting series in the UK has a monthly event that is RTTY + PSK.
What is the status of any firmware change to allow digital mode per VFO on the K3?  Meantime are there any workarounds?

The simplest workaround is to use AFSK. If you are capable of
configuring your equipment so as to generate a clean PSK63 signal, it is
within your ability to use AFSK to create a clean RTTY signal that is
every bit as good as (or better than) an FSK RTTY signal.

Not likely due to the synthesizer design.

You can certainly use AFSK (MMTTY USB) and PSK63 (MMVARI) or 2 x MMVARI
simultaneously in DATA_A - one on each receiver/VFO.
