[Elecraft] CW Skimmer & K3

[Henk PA5KT]

Gary,

You need a KXV3A to have IF output. You them can downconvert the 8MHz IF 
signal to audiofrequency with a box like the LP-PAN downconverter.
See http://telepostinc.com/LP-PAN.html

With the EMU USB 0202 soundcard you will get a nice bandscope for the 
K3, but it also works with Skimmer.

You might ask on the reflector if someone has a used LP-PAN for sale as 
a lot of people replaced their LP-PAN with the P3.

I am a happy user of the LP-PAN converter.

It is recommended to do the IF mod on the K3 if your K3 is older them 
September 2009.
