I noticed your comments about the Argo 5.

I had one for a couple of weeks and returned it.

Let me know if you have a separate receiver and can make this experiment.

Using a separate receiver to monitor your the note of the Argo 5. . . . place VFO A  on 7030  and VFO B on 7035. It makes no difference which is transmit frequency. Key the rig at 30 wpm. Let me know if you can detect a change in the keying ?

Place the Xcvr (Argo 5) in transceive (just using one VFO). Transmit at 30 wpm and monitor in an external receive your transmit signal. While listening to the transmit and while keying, change the BW narrower and narrower and see if there is any difference in the note . . .  keying at 30 wpm  . . monitor in separate receiver (external) and keep turning the BW (filters) narrow from wide to narrow. . 

Thanks for letting me know what your hear.
