I use it this way too, and agree it is very helpful. I wish there were a way to either expand or contract the frequency range displayed sort of like Rocky does to be able to get the "big picture" first and then home in in a more detailed search.

I'm using it with an LP-Pan in what Skimmer calls the Softrock-IF mode. One rub, though, is that the pileups are so wide that it often is not possible to go split, listen on VFO A, and transmit on the second VFO,. because Skimmer tracks VFOA and the action is too far above K1N's frequency to display on my monitor. My K3 has the separate subRX, happily, so I can invert things - listen to K1N on VFO B, while tuning up the band on VFO A looking for the last successful caller. Works amazingly well. -- 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.
