If you expect 100 KHz (more than 22 KHz) with CW Skimmer you will need to split the receive antenna loop and feed a true SDR (e.g., SDR I/Q, Perseus, QSR1, etc or equivalent) tuned to the bottom of the active band. See the CW skimmer documentation - any configuration that feeds skimmer from the IF and tracks the IF offset is limited to 22 KHz (the operating frequency +/- 11 KHz). [pjd] [pjd] Yes, that was my understanding (after having bought the LP-PAN, of course). Is there such a thing as an easily affordable "True SDR"? I priced out the Perseus and it's far out of my ballpark, and the SDR I/Q is no longer being made. >>The "direct" receiver configuration does not require/use microHAM Router. Other software is used to link logging software and skimmer. [pjd] I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you please elaborate a little? I've tried the LP-Bridge and a NaP3 and that just complicates things far worse. I'm after "dirt simple" and "easy to configure." The last thing I want is for something to get messed up 10 minutes into CQWW-CW and I'm out of the game until I can troubleshoot it. I'm looking for a one-box solution if such a thing exists, set it (document it) and forget it, and it just works whenever N1MM+ is running, or when I'm using DX Labs. I am able to make it work Skimmer work with DX Labs Commander, but, again, subject to the IF limitations that I only realized existed after having bought it. ______________________________________________________________ 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]
