Hi, I use LP-Bridge and don't remember (it's been a while) that it was terrible hard to set up. Look at screen shot here:
http://ab2tc.getmyip.com:8000/pictures/lp_bridge.png In the upper left corner you see that the K3 is connected to COM4 at 38400 baud. COM4 is the real physical port on the PC that the K3 is connected to. In my case COM4 is a USB dongle, but that is irrelevant. Ignore the PowerSDR if you don't use that. Along the bottom you see a row of virtual ports COM10-COM14, only two of which are actually in use. COM10 is the port I have HRD pointed at. HRD is also set to 38400 baud but since the port is virtual I suspect the speed does not matter. COM11 is for a little cute S-meter program that I seldom use. Try it out. It's not that hard.
