<strong>Wide</strong> <strong>Band</strong> <strong>Decode</strong> <strong>Capabilities</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>CW</strong> Skimmer<br />

<strong>Wide</strong> <strong>Band</strong> <strong>Decode</strong> <strong>Capabilities</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>CW</strong> Skimmer<br />

System Dependencies<br />

Minimum PowerSDR Version:<br />

Applicable Hardware:<br />

W2RF Branch in SVN<br />

FLEX-5000<br />

Many <strong>CW</strong> Skimmer users have asked <strong>for</strong> a way to expand the decode bandwidth beyond 24khz<br />

with a FLEX-5000. This is possible if you have a FLEX-5000 RX2 (second receiver). Assuming<br />

you already have <strong>CW</strong> Skimmer set up to work with the FLEX-5000 and PowerSDR using the<br />

Direct I/Q feature, here is the procedure <strong>for</strong> configuring wide band decoding <strong>for</strong> <strong>CW</strong> Skimmer on<br />

Procedure<br />

PowerSDR Configuration<br />

<strong>1.</strong><br />

<strong>2.</strong><br />

<strong>3.</strong><br />

<strong>4.</strong><br />

<strong>5.</strong><br />

Use the w2rf branch of PowerSDR:<br />

On the Setup-Audio->VAC page select the option to use the RX2<br />

On the Setup->Audio page, set the rampling rate to 96 KHz and the buffer size to 1024 (<strong>for</strong><br />

this example)<br />

Set the RX2 VFO frequency to 1<strong>4.</strong>056.000 MHz<br />

Make sure SR (spur reduction) is off<br />

<strong>CW</strong> Skimmer Configuration<br />

<strong>1.</strong> Set the Radio Type to SoftRock (NOT SoftRock-IF)<br />

<strong>2.</strong> Set the <strong>CW</strong> Pitch to 600 (or whatever you use <strong>for</strong> the PowerSDR Pitch Frequency)<br />

<strong>3.</strong> Set the LO Frequency to 14046400 (RX2 freq - 9khz IF freq - 600hz vfo pitch)<br />

<strong>4.</strong> Set the Sample Rate to 96khz<br />

<strong>5.</strong> Start PowerSDR and <strong>CW</strong> Skimmer<br />
