Rich,
    I found your message very interesting but I didn't understand this
chart (i.e. what do the values of "ref -4 -6 -10" mean and where do
they come from)?  I am pleased with my filters but I must admit that
there is a change of 20 to 30 hz when I switch between USB and LSB
while using the same filter width (i.e USB with FL1 to LSB with FL1).
I also see a 20-30 hz change when I switch from CW FL1 (OPT1) and CW
FL2 (OPT1) but there is no shift between CW FL2 and CW FL3.  Even
though I have a registered copy of MixW, I have continued to use
Spectrogram because it has a resolution down to 2hz when you use the
cursor pointer and then read the pointed to frequency below the graph.
Try as I might, even though I don't feel that it is really necessary,
I can't get it any better than it currently is.

    Was the above information obtained from MixW?
