Scott,
OOPS! I picked up Gerard in the thread. However, my response of just a few minutes ago is correct. In your case I should have added that you need to set the signal I/O device to the sound card you use for the spectrum display. This way you get more than just the 3 KHz bandwidth you are using and you can use narrow filtering for listening without effecting what skimmer is doing. I hope this is all clear.

What settings do you use?  I was just using the 3kHz radio option.

I have successfully used the KX3 RX I/Q with CW Skimmer.  You will need a
sound card with stereo input (Signalink won’t work) and possibly isolation
transformers on the input to the sound card to remove spurious signals.  I
used a Griffin iMic which is not the world’s best sound card and isolators
from Radio Shack.  If you are going to buy a sound card for this
application get one with at least 96K bandwidth so you can see the entire
CW sub-band on most bands.  Also, I had to change the Skimmer settings to
use Q/I instead of I/Q.  Once you get it set up it is great.  My goal is to
get a PX3 and run Skimmer off of the PX3 output.  I got to play with it one
weekend and it is the ultimate setup for CW contests that allow assists.

First post here.
Can the KX3 RX I/Q output be used with the CW Skimmer program?

Anyone any experience with this?love to hear.
