The low frequency issue reported here is primarily related to CW, not SSB. 
As an example of its importance, I worked a 4S7 station last night on 40m. 
As his gray-line was shifting away, his already weak signal was fading even 
further.  Using F/W 3.25, I was able to copy him with an extremely low pitch 
of about 50 Hz.   The use of extremely low pitch for marginal CW copy is 
pretty well known among top DXers. There's absolutely no way I would have 
worked he 4S7 using F/W 3.27.
