[Elecraft] using P3 and Skimmer

[Don Wilhelm]

Doug,

The setup with CW Skimmer is about the same as for LP-Pan.  CW Skimmer 
is only the software, and it needs a baseband signal having I/Q outputs 
to operate.  Such a signal can be obtained from LP-Pan, or a Softrock 
receiver, or a variety of other SDR devices that provide I/Q signals to 
the soundcard inputs.

I also note that there is a slight inconsistency between those "bulleted 
features" and the P3 manual.
The manual states that its INPUT should come from a buffered IF output 
on the transceiver, however the P3 OUT signal comes from a 3 dB splitter 
- it apparently is not separately buffered in the P3.
