[Skimmertalk] Communication CW Skimmer <=> FT2000 - help needed

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I am flying blind here, because I have never tried to use an SDR-IQ in 
this role. I *think* that you need to use some other program to control 
the SDR-IQ and set it to the IF frequency of the K3. SkimScan might do 
it. All that Omnirig does is to read the frequency of the K3's VFOA and 
correct the readout in CW Skimmer to track with the VFO as you tune off 
the starting frequency.

I don't understand why you don't use the SDR-IQ stand-alone.  You can 
get the receive antenna off the back of the K3 and listen directly and 
independently of where the K3 is tuned.  Use SkimScan to tune the 
SDR-IQ, including automatic rotation of bands and schedules.
