The CLAR button and CLAR/VFO-B knob are used to offset either the receive, transmit, or both frequencies from
their settings on the VFO-A frequency (the Clarifier does not affect the , however). The four small numbers on the Multi
Display Window show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier controls on the FT
DX
9000 Contest are designed to allow
you to preset an offset (up to ± 9.999 kHz) without actually retuning, and then to activate it via the Clarifier’s RX (FAST
RX) and TX (BAND/MHz TX) buttons. This feature is ideal for following a drifting station, or for setting small frequency
offsets sometimes utilized in DX “Split” work.
Here is the technique for utilizing the Clarifier:
1. Press the CLAR switch (# ). The LED imbedded in
the switch will glow Red, and “CLAR” will appear on the
display to signify that rotation of the CLAR/VFO-B
knob (#
) will allow setting of a frequency offset.
2. Press the FAST/RX switch (# ). On the display,
“RX” will appear, and the programmed offset will be
applied to the receive frequency.
3. Rotation of the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# ) will al-
low you to modify your initial offset on the fly. Off-
sets of up to ± 9.99 kHz may be set using the Clarifier.
To cancel the application of the offset to the receiver fre-
quency temporarily, press the FAST/RX switch (#
).
The “CLAR RX” notation will disappear from the display.
To cancel Clarifier operation, press the CLAR switch.
TXCLAR
Without changing the receive frequency, you may
alternatively apply the Clarifier offset to the trans-
mit frequency (typically, for “split” DX pile-ups).
See page 81 for details.
Advice
Turning the Clarifier Off simply cancels the application of
the programmed offset from the receive and/or transmit
frequencies. To clear out the programmed Clarifier offset
altogether, and reset it to “zero,” press the CLAR switch.
The programmed offset is displayed in the small multi-
channel window of the frequency display.
Note
If the Clarifier seems not to be operating, check to see if
the Orange lamp to the right of the CLAR/VFO-B knob
is illuminated. If so, pressing the A/B (#
) switch will
cause the Orange lamp to the right of the CLAR/VFO-
B knob to go out. Now press the CLAR switch to be-
gin Clarifier operation.
The LED Bar Display provides a graphical representation of the Clarifier offset.
On CW, the Bar Display field is used for CW Center Tuning, instead of Clarifier Offset, as the transceiver is configured
at the factory. If you wish to change this, so that the Clarifier Offset is also displayed on CW, use the following procedure:
CLAR key

CLAR/VFO-B knob
RX key
1. Press the MNU key (# ) to enter the Menu
mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial (# ) to select
Menu item “
DISPLAY 016 BAR DISPLAY SE-
LECT .”
3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# ) to select
“CLAR” (replacing the default “CW-TUNE” se-
lection).
4. Press and hold in the MNU key for two seconds
to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion.

(TX frequency = RX frequency)
