Most logging software uses the Kenwood process of sending mode before frequency. With the K3, the mode is stored with band so sending mode then changing frequency (to another band) will result in the mode being unpredictable since you are setting mode on the old band, changing bands where you will inherit whatever mode was last used on that band!
To make things even more confusing, changing modes will cause frequency to shift slightly depending on mode. Logging software should really send frequency, mode, and frequency again when changing bands and mode followed by frequency when changing modes. 73, ...
