[Lowfer] Sampling Rate and Frequency Calibration

[Jay Hainline]

FWIW, in the calibration window, I have my measured frequency programmed as 
700.17, displayed frequency, 700 and the offset is then the frequency I want 
to display minus 700 as I use a 700 hz pitch in cw mode on the radio. The 
.17 is what my radio appears to be off frequency by. Hope that helps with 
your setup in Argo and it doesn’t give me a weird frequency display on the 
screen.

Garry,

Yeah, that's the catch for me. If you enter something like -0.21 Hz, you
get a very non-integer display on the right. Argo didn't originally do
that, nor does Spectrum Lab.
