Don't need to worry about it with WinWarbler (part of DXLab Suite).
Once I've answered a CQ or someone has answered me, I simply uncheck
the "NET" box in the transmit window and my transmit frequency never
moves.  I can allow AFC to run in the receive window to track the
other station as he moves or even click on his trace if he has moved
too far for the AFC to follow.
