[Skimmertalk] CWSkimmer and Skimmer Server setup with RedPitaya

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hi Sam

thanks very much. I follow your document, Bob N6TV is helping me and gave
me this link.

I do all but on point 4:

Launch the CW Skimmer Server. *The program will automatically minimize to
your tray, rather than opening a window.* Click on the icon in the tray to
open the window. The Skimmer Server should automatically locate your Red
Pitaya if it is properly connected to the network; no extra configuration
required.

seems my Red Pitaya is not properly connected to the network, because I
still have the error about SDR Receiver: SDR failure, too many receivers
selected, doesn´t matter if i select 1, 3 or 6 bands on Skimmer Server

Bob is helping me to have Red Pitaya working properly. I think after that
it will connect to Skimmer Server

thanks,
Jorge
