[Skimmertalk] CW SKimmer with SDRPlay

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

I can't find anything on the HDSDR web site related to CW Skimmer or
Skimmer Server.

All I could find was this link:

http://www.rtl-sdr.com/how-to-setup-cwskimmer-with-an-rtl-sdr-and-hdsdr/

But at best, that may only work on a single band (which is all that CW
Skimmer can support).  See http://www.dxatlas.com/CWSkimmer .  This is
probably the only program that will work with the SDRPlay.

Skimmer Server is a different program by the same author.  It can scan
multiple bands at once, but only works with a limited set of SDRs, and they
are listed at http://www.dxatlas.com/SkimServer/.  The QS1R is still the
only one with sufficient FPGA to scan up to 7 bands at once.

The same author has yet another program, RTTY Skimmer Server.  See
http://www.dxatlas.com/RttySkimServ/ .

I think a Flex6700 can use CW Skimmer on multiple receivers, giving you 4
bands at once (but it's not using Skimmer Server).
