[Elecraft] CW Skimmer & K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Gary,

The K3 IF output is what can be used to run CW Skimmer or other 
applications.  You can use LP-
Pan, or a Softrock receiver (with a buffer amplifier) or you can use an 
SDR receiver that provides a computer connection such as SDR-IQ.

The K3 filtering will not allow wideband I and Q signals to be available 
as output signals - yes, those signals do exist internally to the K3, 
but not in analog form - unlike the KX3 where the analog I and Q signals 
are available.  The two receivers have different architecture even 
though they are both in the class of SDR receivers.

73,
