[Elecraft] Panadapters Summary of comments

[Hajo Dezelski]

Hi Bill,

> I am limited to 2 cwskimmers per PC due to its
limitation

I have been running a Red Pitaya with the Software of Pavel Demin into the
Cw- Skimmer Server on 6 bands of my choice without any problem. The Skimmer
Server needs about 10-15% processor time.
