[Elecraft] Cwskimmer Bandwidth and more

My understanding is that Skimmer allows greater then 24 kHz bandwidth 
only in situations where the receiver is not tuned (fixed local 
oscillator frequency).  In the normal situation where it is monitoring 
the IF output of a receiver, it is limited to 24 kHz.

You can "fool" Skimmer into thinking it is a fixed-tune receiver, but 
performance is likely to suffer unless the receiver is parked on one 
frequency.
