[Skimmertalk] CW Skimmer with Flex 1500 and virtual ports?

[Andrew O'Brien]

I had a chance to look at it.  Actually the CW Skimmer error says

"Cannot negotiate input format with 07 Virtual Cable 2: error 1169"

I saw the "07" and thought it was comm port related.  I have two VAC wires
 1 and 2.  I'm not sure what the Skimmer error is telling me.
