CW Skimmer is indeed a pretty cool piece of software, but it doesn't work like that. Unless you also have some sort of SDR front end, all you'll be able to get with CW Skimmer is a display of the audio passband. For a display of stations outside that passband you need an additional piece of hardware that takes the IF out from the K3 and processes it so that it can be handled by your sound card and CW Skimmer. Even then, CW Skimmer has a limitation in "IF mode" that restricts what you see to something like +/- 12 KHz.
Even if you decide to go with something else, there's a lot of good information on the LP-Pan website.

I'm always curious to try a new software & I thought CW skimmer looks interesting. I'm wondering if anyone here is using it with their K3 and if so, what did you find was the best way to connect it to the K3? I have both the internal Realtek soundcard built into the PC motherboard and I have a E-MU USB soundcard which has XLR & 1/4" inputs for left & right. There's optical & S/PDIF inputs as well but the K3 doesn't have those outputs.
