CWSkimmer is a neat little program that decodes multiple
cw
signals all at the same time. This is my particular information relating to setting up CWSkimmer to work with my
SDR
-1000 and Edirol FA-66 soundcard.
Prerequisites:
PowerSDR
and the
SDR
-1000 must already be setup to operate
CW
with either a key or using the CWX (keyboard) form to send
CW
.
A virtual com port (Com0Com or vCom) must be setup for CAT control.
The CAT parameters must be setup in
PowerSDR
(port, baud rate, and number of stop, data and parity bits)
The program can be downloaded from Afreet Software and has a 30 day trial period after which it must be purchased for a nominal fee. Installation of the program is straightforward by following the prompts.

You can see the
PowerSDR
program in CWU mode with standard settings (
VAC
is NOT enabled)

For the Audio settings (Figure 2), I selected:
Signal
I/O
= Edirol FA-66 In 2
Audio
I/O
= Edirol FA-66 Out 1 (not applicable, but it needed a selection)
Left/Right =
Q
/I
For the Radio Settings (Figure 3), I selected:
Hardware Type = SoftRock-
IF
Audio
IF
= 9600,
Sampling Rate = 96kHz (same sampling rate as the FA-66),
CW
Pitch = 600 (same as the Pitch frequency in
PowerSDR
CW
Mode Controls - see Figure 1)
Figure 4 Figure 5
Default settings for CAT control set up to match the CAT configuration in
PowerSDR
for the virtual com port data parameters
Here are a few stations being decoded at the same time - what a neat little program!
