I have CW Skimmer set up to use with my K2. It wasn't working very good;
the signals were weak and when I tuned the K2 the signals on CW Skimmer
were moving in the wrong direction. After some analysis I decided that I
was seeing the image side of the display. I was able to rectify this
problem by using negative numbers for the "CW Pitch, Hz" and the "Audio
IF, Hz" entries. In addition, I was able to see more of the spectrum by
using the "Softrock-IF" hardware type instead of the "3-kHz Radio"
hardware type.

I suspect that the above would also apply to the K3's use of CW Skimmer.
