I have the same setup and I also experience occasional dropouts of radio control with the K3. I don't remember ever being in front of the radio when it happened, so I don't know exactly how often it happens or if it's correlated to anything in particular. I have observed that sometimes when VFO A and VFO B are on different bands the bandmap will momentarily jump to the VFO B band and then back to the normal VFO A band. This may be a clue.
My interface to the K3 is through a microHAM MK2R+ two-radio box, with the radio run from the primary (virtual) CAT port and LP-Bridge run from the (virtual) 2nd CAT port. Since the radio isn't a LP-Bridge client, I suspect the problem is somewhere in the DX4WIN-K3 interface rather than in LP-Bridge. I used a microHAM microKeyer II that runs the same Router software with a FT-1000D and an Icom 746 for a couple of years and don't recall seeing any dropouts with either of those radios. My money's on some sort of subtle K3 software interface problem. 73...
