[RTTY] MMTTY AFC Bug

[Rick Ellison]

This is one of the things I was going to point out Bob..
There are a few different settings in N1MM that will cause the AFC to turn
off or on depending on what setting you have off or on.. One of them being
send Ham Default on S&P/Run Change. If the AFC is turned on in the Default
profile and this setting is turned on then the AFC could be turned off or on
depending..

Do any people experiencing this have a "Profile0" defined in any of your 
macros?
