The main reason for developing Argo when Spectran did already exist was to have a program very simple to use. If you noticed, terms like 'sampling rate', 'FFT size', etc. are totally absent from Argo, which uses a terminology, like sec/dot, taken from the intended usage of the program, and not from its implementation technicalities. And this simplicity will always be of upmost priority. 73 Alberto I2PHD
