Hello Alberto,

I like very much the new enhancements and the clean look of Argo.
Argo runs successfully with Virtual Audio Cable and Widows7 Ultimate on a 6=
4 bit platform.

Could you add an optional offset to the frequency ruler to display the actu=
al frequency (ie 137700) instead of the audio frequency ?

Another feature I'd like to have is the 'repaint' of the full waterfall whe=
n either Sensitivity or Contrast is changed.=20

Thanks & 73

Michel - f5wk
