Bill,

I consider Boz the supreme leader as it pertains to digital modes. I
would follow his advise. 

"I have seen various references stating LSB should be used in AFSK

>From a operational stand point I can tell you that is incorrect. 

USB is what is used operationally. 

If you use LSB and leave the software at default settings,  you will NOT
communicate."
