Thanks Jack and others that replied off list. I'm going to go with the y cable sniffer approach. Since I don't use the amp all the time, I'd rather not have to power it up just so the KAT500 can receive commands from the Kenwood. 73, Cliff K3ll -Original Message- From: Jack Brindle

The only way you can use CW Skimmer directly with the K3 is in "Audio Mode", where the passband supplied to CW Skimmer is limited by whatever filter you have engaged (i.e., 2.7 KHz, etc). If you want to see a reasonable portion of spectrum you need a separate hardware interface that
