Hello Peter, All, I am using SDRPlayIntf.dll (see CW Skimmer page) with CW Skimmer and K3. The external preamplifier option is used to get antenna signal during receive to a splitter and than back to K3 and to the SDRPlay. This does not give me a band scope, but a band map filled with stations an the local antenna.
Which is ideal for "assisted" operation during a contest.
