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.
