[Elecraft] Can the KX3 RX I/Q output be used with CW Skimmer?

[Barry LaZar]

Gerard,
     You will need to set up using:

softrock-IF
CW Pitch to what ever you set it to
Audio IF = 8000 - CW pitch

There will need to be a little adjustment of the IF due to your sound 
card not being exact.

You will also need to set CAT to KX3 and appropriate com port. When you 
get Audio IF set correctly, the frequency readout in the box at the top 
of skimmer will read your radio's frequency and the little green 
indicator will be right on the signal you want to read.

73,
Barry
