The Clarifier (RIT) allows you to set an offset of up to ±9.99 kHz of the receive frequency
relative to your transmit frequency. To achieve a wider offset than this, you may use the
“Split” operating mode, described later.
1. Press the [
CLAR
] button momentarily to activate
the Clarifier function.
2. Turn the
SELECT
knob, which allows the receiver
frequency to be varied over a range of ±9.99 kHz.
3. When the receiving frequency is higher than trans-
mit frequency, the “ (within 1 kHz)” or “ (be-
yond 1 kHz)” icon will appear to the right of the
frequency display. Similarly, when the receiving frequency
is lower than transmit frequency, the “ (within 1 kHz)”
or “ (beyond 1 kHz)” icon will appear to the right of the
frequency display. When the receiving frequency is equal
to transmit frequency (Clarifier offset is zero) while the
Clarifier is activated, the “ ” icon will appear to the right
of the frequency display.
4. To turn the Clarifier off, again press the [
CLAR
] button
momentarily. When you turn the Clarifier back on, the
offset previously stored will still be applied.
5. To reset the Clarifier offset to zero, turn the Clarifier off,
then turn the
DIAL
by any amount. The Clarifier will reset
to zero after the first “step” of the
DIAL
.
1) If you leave the Clarifier on, moving the DIAL
will not cause the offset to be cancelled.
2) You may change the knob that controls the Clarifier off-
set from the DIAL to the SELECT knob via Menu Mode
No-021 [CLAR DIAL SEL].
