Gary,
I would submit that it is something internal -- but internal to the
wiring harness or the terminal strip that you are using.
The direct connection to the power source should indicate that this is
not a K3 problem.

Just a follow-up,
I found the problem and it is in the DC terminal strip that must have
a faulty component inside. It shows 13.8 V at the end of the wiring
harness but when I connected it to the K-3 it dropped down to .5 V. I
bypassed the terminal strip and connected to the power supply
directly and the radio turns on with no issues. The connections to
the terminal are tight so it has to be something internal.
No chance to really compete in the contest but at least I can get
back in the game and don't have to send the K-3 back home for
surgery.
