Are you using up to date firmware? There was a bug that was fixed some time
ago that caused the K3 to use the wrong filter bandwidth settings when the
band was changed by software command.
That probably won't help the problem of changing band but not mode. The
problem is the software has to counteract the K3's recalling of the mode
last used on the band you are changing to. It is necessary to send the band
change command, wait half a second and then set the mode. I can't help you
with how to do that in DX4WIN, though. (I thought there was a recently
introduced change that you could set mode to be per band or per VFO, but I
can't find any mention of it in the firmware release notes.)
