Skimmer - audio IF offset value for K3 ???

[Eric Manning]

  I'm running LP PAN, the E-Mu 1212 soundcard and cw skimmer with my K3.

After much dicking around, I found that audio IF offset of +4405 Hz
puts the waterfall traces at the right places on the frequency scale on
14 MHz.

However, I'm in error by about 1.5 KHz on 21 MHz.

1] Does the 14 MHz offset sound about right?

2] Is there a way to define per-band offsets for Skimmer?

Yes, you're about right but . . .

Are  you sure you are using the same CW sideband on both bands?

The K3 changes  the offset depending on which filter you have chosen.  Are
you using the  same filter on 14 and 21 mhz?

Skimmer doesn't let you set the offsets by  band.  (That I am aware of).  
This issue is a shortcoming in the  LPan/Skimmer setup that I believe they
are working to correct.
