I didn't exactly do this, but I did investigate the effects of distortion on CW signals. I disconnected my P3 from the K3 and set the IF to 7 MHz. so it would act like a standalone spectrum analyzer. I was interested in whether a class-C amplifier I had built would sharpen the keying enough to

I don't use skimmer so can't begin to comment on that. But I do use an SDR-IQ with SpectraVue on my K3 and/or K3S i-f output(s). The SDR-IQ follows the K3s perfectly and conversely, you can point-and-click the screen in SpectraVue and tune the K3. You can also tune the K3 with the mouse
