[Skimmertalk] Signals but no decode today

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I would be willing to bet that you have "Decode only in CW Segments" 
checked in Skimmer. Since 8 MHz is not a CW segment...

I use my LP-Pan 2 (which amounts to a fixed-frequency SDR) on Skimmer's 
Softrock-IF option, and connect to the K3 using Omnirig.  That way 
Skimmer tracks the frequency to which VFOA  of the K3 is tuned.  I think 
you probably need to do that, and use some other program to set the 
SDR-IQ to the IF frequency, and then things should make sense.
