Hi,

has anybody run SDRuno with CW Skimmer. There are a few videos on YouTube showing how to get the RSP1 to use CW Skimmer but they all seem to be using SDR Console etc rather than SDRuno

SDRuno does NOT provide IQ output to external programs so CW Skimmer will be limited to decoding CW signals in an audio (i.e. 3 kHz. channel) using a Virtual Audio Cable like VB Cable. If you use SDR-Console V3 or HDSDR they can output IQ samples to CW Skimmer and you can decode a much wider bandwidth like 48 or 96 kHz.

IQ output from SDRuno planned for the next release - version 1.23 as follows....

1.23 Intermediate update
• Recording of selected signal only (either I/Q or audio) to WAV file format
• Selected signal piped to VAC in I/Q format

Hi Roger,

thanks for the reply. Indeed I've found several examples of how to do as you suggest on YouTube. I look forward to the updated SDRuno which will include the IQ output feature.

Regards

Declan

We here in Utah are also looking forward to I/Q support.

Is there an estimated release date?

1 week, 1 month, 1 year Etc?

I too look forward to an update to SDRplay so I can use it with CW Skimmer. I'm setting up an RBN node and don't have an SDR that works well with Skimmer.

I don't know how the information is formatted, but is it possible to take the output from SDRplay and format into a wide-band format that CW Skimmer can digest? Maybe trick Skimmer into thinking that we have a Flex connected and pipe in data from SDRplay? I don't want to rely on an update from SDRplay to solve this (though I read on another post that an update is coming).

Why not just use HDSDR or SDR-Console to feed IQ data to CW Skimmer? Both work with RSP1, RSP1A and RSP2. After a few minutes with either of these programs you will be running wideband CW Skimmer...

That is correct.

I have tried it and it works great, only I prefer the look and feel of SDRuno.
