[Lowfer] TAG/Jason in CT

Count me in as being interested in the slower version of Jason. Those of us that
inhabit the "1 watt" side of the pond could probably make use of several slower
speed levels, although I realize that may be asking for too much! I'm  sure the
slower speeds would generate more interest in Jason as a long haul DX mode.

Thanks for considering making the changes.

BTW, the most recent changes to Argo, especially the autocapture LED, are much
appreciated.
