Gerard, CW skimmer works great with the KX3 and K3. If you look on my QRZ page (call sign NA1DX), there is a picture from my RV in Delaware this past weekend. I was QRV with my KX3 feeding a R5 off the side of our RV. I made a number of QSOs SSB, CW, including a bunch during the NAQP RTTY contest.
I used CW Skimmer with the KX3 using the internal DELL XPS12 laptop sound card. I pointed CWSkimmer to the soundcard. (I/Q out to Mic in of the sound card). Using CWSkimmer, I have Win4K3 suite and N1MM+ connected to the CWSkimmer Telnet port and grabbing spots. To get to the next tier of high quality decoding, use an external 196k sub sound card. There are a couple good ones: - Asus Xonar U7 USB, simple stereo interface into the sound card from the KX3 - Steinberg UR22, requires stereo to two mono cable splitter - CreateLab E-MU, either direct stereo or two mono channels We had great success with the Asus Xonar U7 during field day. BTW, be prepared to decode cw signals you don't hear over the air or see on spectrum. During contests when I CQ, I have had a stations reply and I never heard them, but I worked them from the decode of cwskimmer. Attached is quick overview of the configuration which includes Win4K3 suite. I plan to update it sometime soon.
