Deanglow is on a distinguished road
 you need to be more positionally aware ie why do you raise the same amount from early/MP and the BU

Should I be raising more from earlier positions?

just as long as we're clear: we're talking about frequency, not amount

you should raise a LOT on the button
a lot of isolating limpers and blind stealing
try to get over 20% PFR on the button
and make sure you raise a lot from CO, but less than the button, and so on

some more general stuff:
don't cold call raises in the cutoff or earlier unless you have pocket pairs
don't call large 3bets from out of position
don't call a large 3b ip position and fold flop if you miss every time

I might take this one at a time if thats ok.

Firstly, should I be looking at Pokerstove 20% and raising with that?

Pokerstove can help you get a range like that, but what he's saying is your preflop raising should be 20%+ just on the button - less from the earlier positions.
You can't simply raise everything in that range every time because you have to consider what happens before you. If every other person folded around to you EVERY time you were on the button, then sure, raise the hands in the 20% range and you'd get that stat. But you know that's not going to happen. So the range is going to be bigger, but depending on what happens before it's your turn to act, you're throwing many of those hands away.
Just to be clear, for example:
You've got 98s.
It's not within the 20% range you'll find on stove.
But if everyone folds to me, I'm stealing with it because it's a playable hand.
If I've got limpers, I'm calling along with it to try and hit a big hand. I'm not going to raise with it because I'm not trying to pick a fight with it and go heads-up for a big pot.
If I've got even 1 raiser, I'm folding it every time.
So do some reading in the stickies and other threads on here. Search "starting hands" and read the first dozen threads that pop up. After you've focussed on it for a while, you'll grasp the range that you're playing from different positions at the table and you'll see your stats move the direction they're supposed to.

when it folds to you on the button, you should be opening a huge range. especially against low vpip players, you can open any two
