[Lowfer] Argo performance with low tone frequency?

Help! Does anyone know if there is any reduction in performance or
detection sensitivity using Argo for QRSS / DFCW with the signal at
a low tone, say around 170 Hz?
The last two nights I have been listening for DF2JP on DFCW but I
was concerned about this. So I set my receiver at 135.000 to get
1173 Hz tone in Argo. This means I could not monitor WSPR2 at the
same time. Now I am wondering if it is just as good to leave the
receiver at 136.000 and run Argo in parallel with WSJT-X for WSPR.
I suppose I lack a real understanding of how the detection works and
thus don't know if tone frequency has any affect at all on
sensitivity. I use a SDR so it should be no problem to adjust the
filter to pass 173 Hz to the decoder. Of course I also have to check
whether the wider bandwidth upsets WSJT-X...
