2. LP-Bridge: Works well, well supported, but limited to use with supported transceivers.  Originally designed for the K3.  Free.

3. VSPE: the 32 bit version works well and I used it for years to share a rig port between the logging program (N1MM or DXLab) and panadaptor program (NaP3).
The 32 bit version is free, for the 64 bit version you must pay a $25 licensing fee.  The 64 bit version may or may not work. No support!
