[WriteLog] Two WriteLog / MMTTY issues

I previously used "AFC ON/OFF w/CALL" but with the new OCX interface, I
set "Sweep" on the AFC/ATC/PLL tab to 0.3 (not a standard choice but
it can be entered manually) to limit the AFC range to +/- 50 Hz (0.3 x
170 Hz).  This keeps the AFC from "running away" or trying to lock on
the "other tone" in the face of a strong off-channel signal.
