Gary and others,
In case you are switching between 100 Watts and QRP 5 watts, there is another way rather than the power per band.  I emailed Philippe direct on this one - you can set up a macro to switch between any two power settings very easily using the PC command.  That's what I did when I got tired of cranking the knob to get down to 5 watts for the QRP sprints.  That way it isn't band dependent and a quick tap or hold of one of the programmable buttons does the trick.  
 
Even if you aren't a programmer, there are all sorts of little tricks like that in the K3 Programmer's Reference.

Jim,

Could you enclose your macro? Saves us time to look it up.  Then I can be
truly lazy and copy paste. :-)

Hi

In my case it's not laziness, rather it's being thick. :-) I would find this feature useful when switching between 100W barefoot and around 45W needed to feed my amplifier.
