Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this.
The rpi3 uses ethernet cable Both rpi have different mac addresses "Can we assume you aren't using any type of access control on your router that would block an unknown IP address?" Correct it's a very simple modem/router set up that assigns ip addresses by DHCP. I am no longer getting a ip address on router for the rpi3. Just one green and one red light I'll re download the zip file tomorrow and try again. It definitely was given an ip address, yet would not open the picore web page. That was the odd behaviour. However the router will not give it a ip address at all now, so I am inclined to think that the hardware is the problem. SB3, UE Radio, CA DacMagic, Talk Electronic stereo.
