Sounds like you have selected 3 kHz audio mode as the radio model in CW Skimmer.  Probably not what was intended.  With that option, you would have to feed the audio output of the Flex (the headphone jack) to the sound card input.

See https://community.flexradio.com/discussion/8007447/cw-skimmer-without-sdr-bridge-or-slice-master

Looks like you need a 3rd party program for full band skimming (SDR Bridge or SliceMaster).  I don't know anything about them.

Hi.

 

I have a Flex5000 set up with CWSkimmer. Both CWS and RigSync are following the Flex frequency exactly as it should, hence CAT communication is OK. This is also indicated on the bottom of the CWS screen.

 

I am unable to get any decoding on the screen.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything about 4/5 times. Followed the CWS and RigSync guide lines to the letter, used the knowledge base for Flex, but no written decoding.

Looking to the bottom of the CWS screen everything seems to work, but nothing on the right window of CWS. The CW signals seem also very faint, like there is insufficient signal strength for CWS te decode.

 

The waterfall is going, but no decoding, while on the bottom of the CWS screen the following is shown:

CAT interface OK

Audio input bandwidth OK

Decoder capacity used: 16%

Decoders: 39 of 39

SNR: -2dB

23WPM

Tln: 1 user

 

Can somebody help me please.

 

Thanks.

 

Best 73s de,
