Lyn,
I guess I can understand the developers position. However, I can
tell you I have had no problem using com0com which appears to be very
well behaved. I will also say that I have had my problems with
LP-Bridge. LP-Pan is not software. It's an IF to baseband with two
outputs piece of hardware, in phase and quadrature phased streams. These
run into a stereo sound card and those data are used for spectrum
display, usually NaP3. LP-Bridge is software used for port sharing.
I take it that you are using a KX3. That means you do not need an
LP-Pan as Elecraft had the foresight to give you I&Q base band data
already. You just need to obtain a good stereo sound card and go.
The modes in WSJT should work fine in using VOX, but being able to
read out and control the radio's frequency can be very helpful. Here's
something to think about. Use a Signalink USB to connect to your KX3 for
digital modes. It uses a USB connection to your computer and will key
the transmitter when you tell the software to transmit. The Signalink
uses an internal vox to know what to do and an acceptable sound card
that will take the radio's audio and feed it to your digital software.
You can plug a powered speaker into the Signalink's aux out and that
will allow you to change modes without need to do anything that remove
the mic and replace it with Signalink's mike cable. This allow greater
ease in mode changing, and you can continuously monitor you received
audio. Levels are set on the Signalink's front panel.

If I was on the WSJT development team, I'd say exactly what the
developer said: they haven't tested everything, can't keep up with
updates, don't recommend using port-sharing software.
LP-Pan sounds kinda awesome, but the first thing I would do (as someone
who has been coding for a few decades) is to start with the absolute
minimum necessary.
Won't WSJT work in VOX mode with no serial connection at all?
Start with the minimum possible, then add things one at a time.

I have run JT-65 successfully using Win4K3 and com0com for port
sharing and replication. All WSJT should want is a defined com port
that it can use to control the radio. I haven't run JT-65 in a year,
but as I recall I used VOX to initiate transmit. I will also say that
I had some intermittent problems with LP-Bridge; I haven't seen any
problems with my present set up in over a few years.
