I had a similar [but not exactly the same] problem when first 
configuring for the W7RN remote.  Brandon's analysis was that the RS-232 
cable between K3 and RRC was intermittent.  Turned out he was right, I 
finally did the deoxit thing and worked with them, and when finally 
seated tightly, problem solved.  I don't know if you've had to change 
that but it might be worth a check.
