I can confirm this. My empeg does the same since using v2.0
Switching AF (or TA) on or off doesn't make any difference. Am not using Hijack or any other plug-in.

It does this continuously to my favorite station, within 20 seconds after tuning into it manually. Will be going back to the previous (beta) version soon.

On this: should I install the entire beta suite, or can I replace the empeg software by itself; keeping the PC-part unchanged (at v2.0)? Any caveats? Thanks
