The log looks fine - no errors visible.

Setting the mode by frequency as we do in the DX Cluster panel, or the  
Bands Panel depends on your Band plan file which is likely OK since it  
works with the FT-857.

The mode command sent is the same command sent when you set mode alone  
but is sent just before the set frequency command.

My guess is that the radio has not finished processing the mode change  
when it receives the frequency change and simply discards the mode  
change command.

This may be fixed in future updates to the K3 firmware but in the  
meantime I have inserted a short delay after the mode change to see if  
that helps.

Please give version 4.3.3b7 a try and let me know if that helps.
