The REALLY easy way to use CW Skimmer is to use one or more of the excellent public skimmers available on the internet: http://www.reversebeacon.net/
The good ones are highly accurate, and cover all bands at once, using special receivers, preamps, and antennas. In your general neighborhood, N4ZR, W3LPL, K3MM, and K3LR come to mind. Maybe there are others even closer to you. Here's a little tutorial describing the general procedure, using a specific example: http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/aocc/2011-November/007916.html If you do want to make your own skimmer based on a K3, the KXV3 is a must, but the K3 will still only be able to do one band at a time, and will not work while you are transmitting.

I believe I need to order the KXV3. Here is where I get "lost". It appears as though LP-Pan might be the easiest way but requires the LP-Pan and a high quality sound card. There doesn't appear to be an easy way using the P3? Since I am starting from scratch what is the best solution to allow me to get a K3 to work with CW Skimmer? 73, Tom KQ5S ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
