I have successfully downloaded 4.47 after crashing the radio once but came
back according to your input and 4.47 loaded in.

Disconnecting the P3 before K3 power up, after a mcu ld issue is required
and I forgot to mention that. Plug P3 supply back after the K3 firmware has
been completed. Sounds like you were good, but I just remembered that.

Now,  I am wondering what settings you have in your rig which gives you
really good decode.  I am working on that now.  I have the AGC threshold set
to 8 with the SLP set to 7.

Set SLP to 0.  AGC at 8 is good.

I have theTEXT DEC set to threshold of 5 and 30 to 90 wpm.

Yes the 30-90wpm works the best even at slow speeds. I use a narrow filter.
Set threshold for clean pulses on the cwt display after spotting (centre)
the signal. Then use filter width and/or rf gain to fine tune. I get perfect
results most of the time, and using this method on noisy lower bands works
well.
Just check the cwt is pulsing with the cw, then you are close. The fine tune
is reflected in the print.

I just noticed my P3 cursor will not move so have another issue  HI> Check
for tracking mode or disable re-enable svga etc.

Good Luck
