Re: [Elecraft] CW-Skimmer Frequency Offset

[Hajo Dezelski]

Hi,
this is really some kind of strange:
On the Kx3 I have Mode CW. The frequency on the waterfall of the Px3 and
the skimmer are correct. Within skimmer  I have narrowed it down to 30 Hz
difference between the CW Pitch and Audio IF And this is the known
differece between Kx3 and official frequency. I need a better source for
calibrating.

But later I switched from 20m to 40m and still no offset between Kx3, Px3
and Skimmer. But after 30 minutes I got from RBN the warning, that I am
-1.8 kHz off. Kind of strange.

Hajo,

Whatever you do, the skimmer screen shows on the screen what it is 
'listening to'. So set the offset in the settings of skimmer so that 
skimmer shows you what you hear in the KX3.
(I use the K3 with a real softrock and I can adjust the offset right on 
the spot.)

Hello,

using the Kx3 with CW skimmer and Aggregator 4.1 I got a message from RBN
" RBN calculated frequency offset has a maximum value of 1.6 kHz on 20
meters. Please calibrate your skimmer to reduce this offset to a value
between -0.1 and -0.1 KHz."
When I change the mode on the Kx3 from cw to usb the difference is reduced
to 1,0 khz.

Which mode should I use to be right on the frequency?

Or should I change within skimmer the Audio IF to -1600 Hz. and use CW. My
frequency offset in cw is 600 Hz.

​Thanks for your advice​
