An 850 Hz offset *sounds like* either your K3 or WinWarbler has
been reset to 2125/2295 Hz.  *CHECK BOTH* "Pitch" in the K3 and
"Mark Offset"/"Optimal Offset" in the FSK panel of WinWarbler's
Configuration dialog.

I've used DXLab Suite (Commander) for years with the K3 and do not
know what button in the VFO B panel to which you refer.  There are
*two* check boxes in the VFO A panel - one turns split on/off
(equivalent to holding A -> B on the K3 front panel) and the other
turns the Sub RX on/Off (equivalent to tapping Sub on the K3 front
panel).

I'm using FW 5.52 at present and all radio control features of
DXLab Suite work just the same as they have in prior versions
of the K3 firmware.

73,
