This isn't actually true. You can configure OmniRig to treat the K3
VFOs as two separate rigs and open two windows of CW Skimmer to monitor
each. I haven't used mine that way for a couple of years so I can't
readily explain the details, but I've done it before and it works fine.
It shouldn't be difficult for anyone to duplicate it.

Yes CW skimmer works great. One caveat though with listening on vfo b. Many
people use the built in decoding of cw on the k3 or use software such as cwget
to assist them. This only works on the main receiver so you lose that
functionality.
Two things would be great here. One, having decoding built into the k3
subreceiver. That would fix this when you use it like you do. Second, cw
skimmer should have an option to qsy on vfo b as well.

CW Skimmer is a great tool for cracking the K1N pileups because it
decodes the calls of folks calling as well as who just sent 599, and you
can click on the relevant decoder dot to move instantly to that
frequency. I'm using it with an LP-Pan in what Skimmer calls the
Softrock-IF mode.
One rub, though, is that the pileups are so wide that it often is not
possible to go split, listen on VFO A, and transmit on the second VFO,.
because Skimmer tracks VFOA and the action is too far above K1N's
frequency to display on my monitor. My K3 has the separate subRX,
happily, so I can invert things - listen to K1N on VFO B, while tuning
up the band on VFO A looking for the last successful caller. Works
amazingly well.
