Bill, I'm a CW operator, but I believe you could try the method I use to activate the tuner and amp before working phone on MARS frequencies.
After you have tuned the tuner on your favorite frequencies (phone and/or CW), perform the actions below when you QSY. 1. Set the K3 to transmit CW in SSB mode. 2. Connect a cw key to the K3. 3. After you have moved to the new band, tap the CW key one time and the tuner and amp will be ready to transmit SSB.
