Thanks for playing.
indirectly affect timing?....... elaborate...... nevermind....... it is simply a function translated by the setting on the AFC.
but I guess you can consider it that way. To me, when it comes to tuning, you have to consider every variable the tuning device will affect. An AFC is definitely not a BTM, but it will "directly" affect timing based on its setting. It just doesnt have a dedicated mode to actually retard or advance timing. It's all good. Have a fine day tuning....
