CLARIFIER (RECEIVER INCREMENTAL TUNING)
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
wider
offsets,
you
may
use
the
"Split"
pperating mode, described on page 58.
I. Press the [CLAR] key momentarily to activate the Clarifier function. The [CLAR] key
glows green when the
Clarifier
is

Tum the SELECT knob, which allows the receive frequency to be varied
over
a range
of
±9.99 kHz.
3.
To
tum the Clarifier off, press the
[CLAR]
key once more.
4.
To
reset the Clarifier offset to zero, turn the Clarifier off, then turn the
MAIN

"step"
of
the MAIN DIAL.
CW
SPOT
The
audio pitch
of
the
CW
Sidetone corresponds to the pitch
of
your
CW
signal when you
are
transmitting. Therefore,
if
you tune the receiver so that the incoming signal's pitch
is
the
same
as that
of
your radio's
CW
Sidetone, your signal will be exactly
"zero
beat" with
that
ofthe other station.
It
'
';
The
CW
Sidetone pitch
may
be
used
for
CW
spotting only when the
CLARIFIER
~
_ is
off
(or set to zero). When the
CLARIFIER
is
on, the FT-IOO's
transmit
and
~
receive frequencies will
not
be
the
same
when the
CLARIFIER
is
set to a
non-
zero
value.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
The
receiver recovery time constant may be modified to match your operating needs.

selections:
AGC/(FST) -7 AGC/(SLO) -7 AGC/(AUT) -7 AGC/(FST) ...
where
"AGC
AUTO"
represents

on
CW
and DIG(AFSK), and
"SLOW"
on the
voice modes.
If
