HRD is primarily rig control and PowerSDR is a DSP program for SDRs.  WU2X
wrote a version of PowerSDR-IF that will operate on the K3's IF via LP-PAN. 
However it requires HRD for rig control, so you actually run both
simultaneously.  Eventually N8LP will publish LP-Bridge which will allow
PowerSDR to directly control the K3.

For background on the LP-PAN:

To run any of the SDR programs (PowerSDR, CW Skimmer, Winrad) on the K3, you
need the following:

KXV3 > LP-PAN > Sound Card > Computer > DSP software.

The specifics of the sound card and computer required vary depending on the
speed and resolution needed.
