[Elecraft] CW skimmer

[Wayne Burdick]

The K4 has sufficient internal horsepower to run advanced software applications; that's one major reason we included a general-purpose processor. However, all third party applications will require modification to run in the K4 environment, and they'll be vetting by our staff before being made available as an in-box app. 

While there's no reason we couldn't run Skimmer, I can't say at this time whether we'd choose to port this application to the K4. But I can say the K4 will be continuously updated to meet user needs.
