The underlying problem with your operation is you are using a filter
which is too wide. 500 Hz is twice what is needed for RTTY. So to you
it would seem that both AFC and NET are quite handy - you tune a station
barely on one side of your bandpass and AFC and NET both jump over to
the other side. I guess that's convenient, but it's also QRM city.
Far better to use 250 Hz bandwidth so when a station is tuned in, he
occupies the FULL bandwidth, and neither AFC nor NET is needed at all.
To each his own, I suppose.
