33FT-891 Operating Manual
Operating Instructions 2
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
]
”.
