Well, I wish I'd known, since I found the site helpful from time to time, but
as my knowledge of the K3 grew, I found less need of the Wiki. However, it was
good to know it was there for when I might want to look at it, especially some
of the reference material.

but -- The K3 can provide a lower power RF source for tuning.
As others have mentioned - first set the Tune power in the menu.
Then use TUNE (not ATU TUNE) and the K3 will transmit at the power you
set in the menu.

I think the problem was not with CW Skimmer but with OmniRig instead

We've already fixed the hang problem in the next P3 firmware release,

Please allow me to add some facts about the AIM4170C to this discussion.
First, the AIM4170C is not designed only for measuring impedances

From WX0B:
The AIM4170C can measure 50K ohms R and +/- 50K ohms X easily.
The fact is is that the higher the impedance,

I installed CW Skimmer again (as administrator) and got the same errors.
You were correct that it was OmniRig giving the error. In any event it
is now installed.
As an aside, what is OmniRig for?

OmniRig is a program for sharing the radio with more than one program such
as CWskimmer and a logging program. Only a few logging programs have the
capability however. I use LP-Bridge to share CWskimmer, Logger32 and
Powersdr.
The skimmer guy, Alex, has other programs that work with OmniRig.
We have two iMacs and a MacBook all within 8-15 feet of one leg of a slanting
delta loop. I usually run 100w but crank up an amp to 500w on occasion. We
have no RFI on any of the computers. The shack is on the second floor so RF
grounding is marginal at best.
