Some things I found in your log:
You are using voice recognition, and I found in the logs that PF3 sometimes is very quick to move to the next call.
I suggest you set the "PTT pause interval" to somewhere between 5 to 10 seconds and/or use a PTT key to pause PF3 while you are talking.
I haven't verified why SIDs are off, but your PF3.ini contains "SID=0" and PF3 logs:
16/04/2016 20:58:02: 230 - SID Feature is OFF |
The next one indicates that you are using a COM1 without standby frequency, so while switching to Tower 118.1 you had dialed in Departure 118.6 for a second.
PF3 starts talking to you as soon as it sees you on the Departure frequency for a moment, even if you did not tell them that you are on that frequency.
(Dave, this is a bug. Should I file separately it in the beta forum?) -- Edit: I just filed it as "departure talks to rvm33 before making checkin"

Another case off ATC being too quick:
1. Tower issues "Turn right heading 100" after asking you to contact Departure. Okay, you did not confirm switching for 22 seconds, but still strange.
2. After tuning in Departure, they tell you to Turn right heading 100 even before you made contact with them.

Probably due to this PF3 bug you never checked in with Departure and therefore Departure never cleared you above the initial clearance of 5000ft.
When you requested a higher altitude, Departure got really confused:

But now you reached the waypoint for handover to center, you did a check-in and luckily PF3 ignored the hotkey 1 (request cleared to final) and things might have been back to normal, but currently there is a bug under investigation that sometimes prevents proper descent instructions after requesting a FL change, which you did (HotKey #4).

So I think the main problem was not doing the proper check-in with Departure due to PF3's bug of letting Departure talk to you before check-in.
The followup error was trying to work around this problem by requesting a higher altitude while PF3 was already confused.
