RIT
Incremental Tuning, or receive incremental tuning, provides a means of adjusting the
receive frequency without affecting your transmit frequency. This control is sometimes
called a clarifier since it can be used to tune in SSB voice signals. But RIT can also be
used in all modes, in the event that a station calls you slightly off-frequency. RIT and
XIT use the tuning rate (1/10/100/200/300 Hz), taping
K
or
L
.
XIT
XIT or transmit incremental tuning, adjusts the transmit frequency without affecting the
