Manual version 2.20.2 at the top of page 71 states that the default lower limit for a DCDFT frequency scan is 1/(4T). I assume these defaults are also the values that appear in the DCDFT with frequency range for a newly opened file (so that previously selected values have not been retained). However, the program is actually using 1/(2.6666...67T) = 1/(8T/3) as the default. This apparent contradiction is was also in from earlier manual versions.
Another minor point: It would be clearer to use normal in-line text such as 1/(4T) for the fractions in this section of the manual rather than what appears to be pasted images combined with normal text.
Try the attached two files and you should get a value for default lower limit that is 1/(2.66...67*1000) = 0.000375 instead of 1/4000 = 0.00025.
Cheers!

Thanks Brad.
You reported this last year and I created a ticket:
https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/586/
I've added a link to this page as well.
There's also this which may actually be a duplicate:
https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/576/
Probably should consolidate the tickets.
Apologies for not getting to it yet.

From https://www.aavso.org/comment/62622#comment-62622:
On page 120 and 128 of the user manual(VStarUserManual.pdf), the Superwasp website reference is now a broken link. The website has changed recently.
From https://www.aavso.org/comment/62623#comment-62623:
On page 130 of the user manual, the VStar forum link no longer works:
http://www.aavso.org/forums/about-aavso/vstar
Clicking on the link results in "Page not found."
From https://www.aavso.org/comment/62624#comment-62624:
On page 130 of the user manual, the two links under "Southern Gems: A part of the Citizen Sky Project" no longer work. Clicking each link results in "Page not found."
Hi David et al
It is not urgent, especially as the B-V plug-in is not working properly currently, but I could not find a reference to the B-V plug-in in the Manual. It is not a big issue as it is very easy and logiical to use but just for completeness.

Hi Robert
Unlike almost every plugin, this doesn't have a document associated with it (but none of which are in the user manual, even though sometimes a plugin may be referred to in the manual).
It does however have a description that ought to be sufficient here:
https://www.aavso.org/vstar-plugin-library#B-V
Also, you are mentioned there. :)
