[Elecraft] K3S and CW Skimmer's 24 kHz limitation

[Bill W4ZV]

Just an FYI for anyone interested.  Several years ago I opted to use Blind
Skimmer's waterfall because I found it so convenient for fast S&P (due to
Skimmer's ability to quickly jump to *exact* zero beat...see video below).

I asked Alex VE3NEA if the new K3S might change the 24 kHz limitation
(Softrock on IF mode).  Below is his response.

Hi Bill,

Sorry for the late reply, I have just returned from a 2-week trip and
started to answer my email.

No, the presence of the USB and RS232 ports in the radio does not change the
bandwidth processed by CW Skimmer in the IF mode, sorry.

Hi Alex,

The data sheet says:

"Includes both USB and RS232 ports; Using USB port eliminates need for PC
sound card and line-level audio cables (line in/out
jacks still included)"

Would this remove the 24 kHz limitation using Skimmer?
