The
[

,
[
RX CLAR
]
,
[
CLEAR
]
buttons and
[
SUB VFO-B
]
knob are used to offset either the receive, transmit,
or both frequencies from their settings on the Main band (VFO-A) frequency (the Clarifier does not affect the Sub band
(VFO-B), however). The four small numbers on the Multi-Display Window show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier
controls on the FT-2000D 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 CLAR
]
and
[
TX CLAR
]
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
[
RX CLAR
]
button. In the Multi-Display
Window, the “
RXRX
RXRX
RX” notation will
appear, and the programmed off-
set will be applied to the receive
frequency.
2. Rotation of the
[
CLAR
]
knob will allow you to modify
your initial offset on the fly. Offsets of up to ±9.999
kHz may be set using the Clarifier.
To cancel Clarifier operation, press the
[
RX CLAR
]
but-
ton. The “
RXRX
RXRX
RX” notation will disappear from the display.
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
[
CLEAR
]
but-
ton. The programmed offset is displayed in the small multi-
channel window of the frequency display.

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 79 for details.
The Tuning Offset Indicator provides a graphical representation of the Clarifier offset.
On CW, the Tuning Offset Indicator 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:
