[RTTY] AFSK Tips

[John GW4SKA]

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!
