[Elecraft] CW Skimmer & K3

[David Gilbert]

That's still limited to +/- 12 KHz for use with CW Skimmer.

By the way, I thought I read somewhere recently that the Softrock Lite 
for use with the K3 IF was no longer offered by Tony although I could be 
wrong, about that.  If anyone knows for certain, please correct me.
