Preset takes some time to change but it may be better than pressing APF. With APF I was able to copy many weak stations on K9AY when running. Notably KH6 and KL7, plus a few WI stations, I guess, running 5W with mobile antennas. But if it takes 1 sec to turn on APF, and an average station calls once, one cycle is lost. After a weak station repeats a few times, other stations decide to use the same frequency for RUN. I find RIT good enough for APF, and faster.
