It depends on which CW decoder you are using.  If you want only
one decoder, set Writelog for a "sound board" instead of "stereo
sound board" or right click on the CW display, select "setup CW
decoder" and choose "Mono" instead of "stereo."

Read the manual?  The value used in "Setup CW Decoder" is the
lowest frequency decoded.  If you want 500 Hz in the middle,
set the bottom to 325 ... the filters (in the multi-channel
decoder) will be 325-395, 395-465, 465-535, 535-606 and 606-676
with 500 Hz centered in the middle one.
