If you want to avoid any problems with not hearing stations through AFC pulling off to one side, forgetting to switch AFC/NET on and off and general confusion, don't use them.

Just use the RIT or 2nd VFO to tune properly to the other signal when running. Switch all the gizmos off when S&P .. just tune to the received signal. It's easy to do with the waterfall displays or any decent tuning indicator.

More importantly, when working a spotted station, always find them before calling!

When contesting:

1. If you are running, keep AFC on and NET off.

2. If you are S&Ping, keep both AFC and NET on.
