[Lowfer] PBO in TN

[Douglas D. Williams]

Thanks, Jay. I'll try "slow" mode, as I see what you mean about the
smearing of the signals, especially for the weaker signals that are
barely showing up, like the one in my screen capture.

Yes, I have my receiver/soundcard cailbrated dead on with WWVB
QRSS120. After warming up, I can leave it capturing WWVB for hours
with no discernable drift, so good to go there.

I still haven't quite figured out how to make the right hand of the
Argo screen show the exact received frequency. Right now, I have my CW
Pitch set on my R75 to 700Hz, and I just center 700Hz on my Argo
screen. Can anyone give me an "idiot's guide" to making the right hand
Argo show the exact received frequency? I'm at work now, and can't
quite remember what boxes pop up when you enter Argo's calibration
routine. I do remember that either my receiver, soundcard, or
combination of both are around 7Hz off, and I have calibrated Argo to
compensate for that.
