I inserted the parameters N7WS published below into the DXBase Radio ini
files and saved the new file.  Went to the Tools, Options, User Options, and
Radio 1 in DXBase and selected the now present K3 for my radio of choice.  I
clicked on the green checkmark in the DXInfo window, and the K3 did not QSY
to the new frequency;  something had to be wrong with the file. 

With Wordpad, I opened the radio ini files, took a look at the K2 parameters
and noted a remarked similarity (damn near the same to be exact) between the
two.  After checking the lines, I found a command line in the K2 parameters
was not present in the K3 file that N7WS sent out. The (SetVFOA) string that
is "snuggled" in between the Select VFOA= eoc(0) and the GetVFOA= asc("FA;")
rrs(14) eoc(0) lines was not there.   

So, I "copied the SetVFOA line from the K2 file and pasted it into the K3
parameters.  That fixed the problem.

There are two other differences that I found between the K2 and the K3
parameters.  PACING is 1 for the K2 and 20 for the K3;  and the SetFilter
line is a long "song and dance" routine (string) for the K2, and is rather
direct and to the point for the K3;  SetFilter= eoc(0).  I left "sleeping
dogs lie", and did not change them.

Not being a computer whiz, I have no idea what the command strings do.
Hopefully someone with a little (a lot) more expertise than I can fill me
(and most likely a multitude of others) in.

You can add the following K3 parameters to the radios.ini file and it will 
appear in the options.
