Steve, you might want to look at the combo of LPB2 and NaP3. LPB2 allows sharing of the rig port with an SDR and up to 5 apps, like LP-Bridge does with K3. NaP3 is the latest iteration of Flex's open source PowerSDR, has some really neat features. A version of NaP3 is in pre-release which fully supports K2, with extensive support for offsets for all modes.
