[Elecraft] K3 Filters, Shift Control and RTTY

[David Wilburn]

If the other station has AFC on in their software, they tend to wander 
around a bit.  I tend NOT to run AFC if I am S&P, as I line right up 
on them.  If I am running and there is activity around me, it is hard 
to run AFC, as my signal then wanders around.  But if someone comes up 
a bit off, or I have some room around me, I then run it. It then 
aligns my frequency with theirs.

Its a lot like CW contests, where so many do not zero you before they 
call.
