Andy,
Make sure you are in CWU mode. Skimmer doesn't like CWL.

Thanks for the suggestions, still not luck. Now that I have had a few days
to get used to a Flex 1500, VAC, and Power SDR, I thought I would try again
to get PowerSDR and CWSkimmer to be aligned with each other. I set VAC and
PowerSDR to the exact settings illustrated on the Flex Knowledge Base.
CWskimmer's listing of call signs is still 7-10 kHz off from what is
reported by other skimmers via RBN.. I tried with SR on and SR off, still
not aligned. I ran a calibration via PowerSDR , that made no difference
PowerSDR and the Flex 1500 do seem to report the accurate frequency, if
PowerSDR is on 14024 CW, Skimmer is on 14025 in its frequency display.
However, decoded signals in Skimmer are 7-10 kHz off in Skimmers waterfall
and in the call list.
Any more ideas? Perhaps it is just that using the
Softrock-IF setting in Skimmer does not work with a Flex and Power SDR.
I have got PowerSDR and CW Skimmer working together, the
frequency displayed in PowerSDR is the same frequency in the main display
of CW Skimmer. However a CW signal >nicely centered in PowerSDR does not

Skimmer has a Frequency Calibration option that is grayed out when I use
PowerSDR. .
Anyone have an idea or two on where to start?

Thanks for the suggestions, SR was OFF . I'll try again this weekend.

If its not the SR being on, there is a process to fine tune the freq with
CWS.

Andy,
Make sure you have SR (Spur Reduction) off. That would make a
displacement
between the frequencies on PowerSDR and Skimmer. Otherwise I don't know
what
the problem might be. I don't think it could be a VAC problem.

I have got PowerSDR and CW Skimmer working together, the frequency

However a CW signal nicely centered in PowerSDR does not show in the CW
Skimmer waterfall at all. CW signal DO show in Skimmer's waterfall,

Call
