I just checked and I had this option turned ON!

I have no idea how it happened as I didn't even know the option was
there, but somehow it became turned on.

How could this cause the problem to happen to me so randomly?  I
could run 100 stations with no problems, then it would seem to hit
more and more often.  I probably had to ask for repeats fifty times
during the contest because the AFC would turn off in the middle of my
exchange and then I couldn't copy the reply.

Thanks for identifying this potential land mine.  I never would have
found it on my own.
