CW Skimmer Setup with K3 and KX3

[Doug Ellmore Sr.]

I suggested 196khz sound card to maximize data collection for cw
skimming...Ever see 10m open during a CW contest?  Even 196k can't handle
it all.

But yes, you can get back with less.  On the road I often just use the
internal sound card 48k from my Dell XPS12 and then throw up a 17' wire in
the tree with 2 radials.

The ASUS Xonar U5 is even less expensive, and works VERY well. I buy
from B&H in NYC.

I believe the CW skimmer is limited to 48k bandwidth, so a 196kHz
soundcard is not necessary for CW skimmer.
OTOH, if you are also using a Panadpater application like NaP3 or
Win4K3, that extra bandwidth will be desirable.
