Anyone know anything about this radio?

AFC stands for Automatic Frequency Control. It's most likely only active on the FM band on your radio. Back in the olden days, the tuning of high frequencies wasn't very stable with temperature changes, so the AFC circuit was added. To use it, with the AFC turned off, tune in an FM station, then turn on the AFC. It acts similarly to an autopilot as long as the tuning drift is not excessive. It won't hold the station if the radio tuning goes too far away from the proper setting.

@greatwhitenorth112 I think MB stands for Marine Band. Can anyone confirm that?
