I'm running my K3/LP-PAM combination with Ham Radio Deluxe instead of LP_BRIDGE. I found that the HRD connection to the K3 was slow using LP_BRIDGE, but improved very much with the direct connection to HRD. When running the two my CPU is at between 35% and 45%. The screen real estate is as you say, but unless logging with HRD I keep PowerSRD in from and to the side so I ca click on HRD to do logging.
