Gerard,
You will need to set up using:
softrock-IF
CW Pitch to what ever you set it to
Audio IF = 8000 - CW pitch
There will need to be a little adjustment of the IF due to your sound
card not being exact.
You will also need to set CAT to KX3 and appropriate com port. When you
get Audio IF set correctly, the frequency readout in the box at the top
of skimmer will read your radio's frequency and the little green
indicator will be right on the signal you want to read.
73,

I have successfully used the KX3 RX I/Q with CW Skimmer. You will need a
sound card with stereo input (Signalink won’t work) and possibly isolation
transformers on the input to the sound card to remove spurious signals. I
used a Griffin iMic which is not the world’s best sound card and isolators
from Radio Shack. If you are going to buy a sound card for this
application get one with at least 96K bandwidth so you can see the entire
CW sub-band on most bands. Also, I had to change the Skimmer settings to
use Q/I instead of I/Q. Once you get it set up it is great. My goal is to
get a PX3 and run Skimmer off of the PX3 output. I got to play with it one
weekend and it is the ultimate setup for CW contests that allow assists.
First post here.
Can the KX3 RX I/Q output be used with the CW Skimmer program?
Anyone any experience with this?love to hear.
