Bob, May I ask you a further question, please? Do I need any additional
software for the interface from the K3 serial port to the PC using either
RS232 or USB and an adaptor? I understand that the SignaLink may not
itself be required but am going to proceed with it anyway. I would like to
make sure that WSJTX can shift the frequency and band for FT8. Thank you
for your help.

The Signalink provides only the audio path to / from the computer and
radio.
You will need either the RS232 or USB interface between the radio and
computer to handle the frequency control and PTT command.
