Doug,

The setup with CW Skimmer is about the same as for LP-Pan.  CW Skimmer
is only the software, and it needs a baseband signal having I/Q outputs
to operate.  Such a signal can be obtained from LP-Pan, or a Softrock
receiver, or a variety of other SDR devices that provide I/Q signals to
the soundcard inputs.

I also note that there is a slight inconsistency between those "bulleted
features" and the P3 manual.
The manual states that its INPUT should come from a buffered IF output
on the transceiver, however the P3 OUT signal comes from a 3 dB splitter
- it apparently is not separately buffered in the P3.

73,
