[Skimmertalk] KX3 with CW Skimmer ?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Google searches indicate some have this working, but it's very complicated
to get the frequencies displayed accurately since the center of the IF
shifts every time you move the KX3 tuning knob?

See WK1K:

And N1DX:

It should be much simpler to connect a direct sampling SDR directly to the
antennas than to the KX3 I/Q output.

73,
