Hello all, With the vast majority of my friends having gone the Flex route rather than the K3, I'm finding I'm at a rather huge disadvantage in terms of CW operation, and that's Skimmer, which is an absolute game-changer for everybody who's running it. I just can't figure out how to make it work acceptably well with the K3S/P3 combination I have here.
I went the LP-PAN route and the birdies/mirror images make that device wholly unsuitable for me, so I'm back to square one. I don't want to spend another small fortune on interface boxes, but something better than LP-PAN is clearly the answer. I just don't know what it is, what to do once I buy it, or anything else. The big limitation I have is whatever devices that I will need to buy will also have to play well with MicroHam Router software, and in the past that has left my head spinning. This stuff is SO far beyond my understanding I feel as if I've been thrown into the deep end of the pool without knowing how to swim. Working backwards, let's say the required end result is to have the CW portion of whichever band I'm on skimmed and calls displayed on my bandmap in either N1MM+ or DX Labs' Commander. Not 22kHz worth of calls relative to my operating frequency, but everything, from .000 to .100 and maybe beyond. If I'm running in CQWW or ARRL-CW, I'm less impressed with what the cluster is showing me and would rather rely more heavily on what my own antenna is picking up. I have only two antenna feeds on the property: Whatever's selected on the tower or a K9AY loop connected to the RX-in line on the back of the K3S. I don't' have a separate antenna to feed another receiver so I guess the idea is to take signal off the IF from the P3 out, yes? Like I said, I'm really very old-school and I need help getting up to speed with all this stuff. I migrated from a Mark V last year and the learning curve on the K3S is still as steep as Mt. Everest for me. Any help greatly appreciated, please'n'thanks! --------------------------------------------- 73 and Good DX Peter, W2IRT S/N 10023 ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
