[Elecraft] Fw: K3 and CW Skimmer

[Tom]

I looked at this.  The reason I want to use SKIMMER is to help locate
where an OP is listening.  By having my own SKIMMER I am able to see
599 or a call sign almost instantly and can click on the call or 599
and QSY to where it OP is listening (a little RIT helps to move off
the exact frequency).  The RBN only shows calls and there is the
obvious internet latency.  I am not sure this would work for my
intended purposes.
