Joe,
I found that the problem was with my Win-Test Setup, Options, Configure
Interfaces menu setup. COM8 is my RADIO 1 port, which needs to be
configured as 38400 BPS, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. Somehow the
allocation had been dropped and data rate changed to 9600. I tried
reconfiguring the K3 Config Menu for 9600 BPS but when I recycle power on
the K3 it always returns to 38400 so I have set the rate at 38400. The
rate of 9600 had been used with an amplifier interface. I will do what is
needed. The whole system is now communicating.
Thank you and all who replied. I read all the messages and took them
all into account. One person questioned the forum in which I was asking
the question but there needs to be some limit to the number of forums and
hardware, software, hardware integration issues are always chasing a tail.
As it turns out it was dependent on the K3 and I am very grateful that I
asked here and also appreciative of all the advice. The gentleman who
questioned my using the Elecraft forum was however kind enough to also
provide useful guidance; so thanks to you all. I am as always grateful and
happy with this forum and the help it provides.
Oh joy a problem solved!!! Yippee!!! Mucho Gracias!!!

Sounds like an issue with Win-Test not opening the CAT port in
microHAM Router correctly. Have you checked the CAT settings
in Win-Test? Is the CAT port shown as "Open" with the correct
communications parameters in microHAM Router?
Since Router is showing the correct frequency (and mode) from
the K3, the K3 and microHAM hardware appear to be operating
correctly.
