[Elecraft] comparing P3, LP-Pan, SDRPlay, others?

[tomb18]

HiWin4K3Suite can also qsy cwskimmer on VFOB allowing split operation which is great for pileup.  Cwskimmer alone does not have this functionality. 73 Tom va2fsq.com

I use Win4K3 with CW Simmer. I can see what the band looks like in the 
spectrum display in Win4K3 and refine my selection and decode call signs 
for 1/2 the sampling rate of my sound card in CW Skimmer. Together they 
are a powerful combination. Both control the frequency tuning of your 
radio.
