[Lowfer] Using Argo

[Douglas D. Williams]

Well, I see no reason why your method of using SSB USB mode would not work
with the R-75.

I have encountered a few situations, however, where narrow filters helped
my QRSS reception. One example for me is the 185.300 kHz USA Lowfer
"watering hole". I have a strong PLC very close to this frequency, so close
that it is within the passband of my R-75's narrowest CW filter (250 Hz). I
notice a distinct improvement in QRSS reception resolution on this
frequency, using ARGO, when I use my Winradio SDR and set the filter width
to 150 Hz or less. So yes, at least for me, there are times when it is
advantageous to use a narrow filter (I.F. audio, or software defined)
filter before sending the data on to Argo (or Spectran or Spectrum Lab) for
QRSS decoding.

LF is different that 30 meters.
