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.

nor did their parents or 
grandparents.

How can they know what you
