Cwskimmer Bandwidth and more

Don,

cwskimmer settings allows up to 196khz.

I have seen it decode way more than 48k.

With the subreciever tap you did for me, I have had separate cwskimmer
sessions running on each receiver in the k3. I then am alerted of a needed
station on another band.

I use win4k3 for the main control and panadapter display, and then nap3 for
the second pandapter display.

There are frequency polling issues with the subreciever, but if I get an
alert in skimmer, I can easily find the right frequency and work them.

Re: Cwskimmer Bandwidth and more

Only when there is a direct connection to one of the hard coded SDRs, such as: SDR-IQ, QS1R, Mercury or Perseus.

When you use a K3 with an SDR-IQ, for example, you will see a pan adaptor display of up to 192 kHz, but CW Skimmer (setup as SoftRock-IF) will still be limited to much less than 48 kHz.

Now if you have found a way around that, myself and many more would like to know.

Re: Cwskimmer Bandwidth and more

My understanding is that Skimmer allows greater then 24 kHz bandwidth
only in situations where the receiver is not tuned (fixed local
oscillator frequency). In the normal situation where it is monitoring
the IF output of a receiver, it is limited to 24 kHz.

You can "fool" Skimmer into thinking it is a fixed-tune receiver, but
performance is likely to suffer unless the receiver is parked on one
frequency.
