Clarifier (Offsets the receive frequency on the SSB/CW mode)
The
[
CLAR
] key and
MULTI
function knob are used to offset the receive frequency,
the transmit frequency, or both, from the VFO-A frequency setting. A small four digit
indication on the display will show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier functions on the
FT-891 allow offsetting the receive and transmit frequencies
(up to ±9.998 kHz), without
actually re-tuning, and then activating it by pressing Clarifier
[
CLAR
] key. This feature
is ideal for following a drifting station, or for setting the small frequency offsets sometimes
utilized in DX “Split” work.
r
To change the clarifier operation (RX/TX/TRX), utilize Menu mode “
05-18
[
CLAR
SELECT
]”.The factory default setting is “RX”.
r
The RX clarifier does not change the transmit frequency, but permits slight adjustment
of the receiver for improved audio.
r
Remember to reset the Clarifier offset to zero when the QSO is completed, so the
transmit and the receive frequencies will be combined again
.
Here is the technique for utilizing the Clarifier:
1. Press the
[
CLAR
] key. The programmed
offset will be applied to the receive frequen-
cy.
2. Rotation of the
MULTI
function knob will
allow adjustment of the initial offset on the
fly. Offsets of up to ±9.998 kHz may be set
using the Clarifier.
3. To cancel Clarifier operation, press the
[
CLAR
] key.
r
Turning the Clarifier off merely cancels
the application of the programmed offset
from the receive and/or the transmit fre-
quencies. To clear the Clarifier offset, and
reset it to “zero”, press and hold the
MULTI
function knob.
r
To change the clarifier operation (RX/
TX/TRX), utilize Menu mode “
05-18
[
CLAR SELECT
]”.
