[Lowfer] Using Argo

Thanks for the replies but I can see no valid reason for using either CW 
or CWR mode and there is no advantage in using the narrow CW filters.
I use Argo and SpecLab and in both cases I use USB and tune 1KHz below 
the centre freq. of the display.
For 30M I tune 1300Hz below which allows me to run WSPR and QRSS at the 
same time.
