Clar (Clarifier) Operation On Main (Vfo-A) - Yaesu FTDX-9000MP Operation Manual

CLAR C
The CLAR button and CLAR/VFO-B knob are used to offset either the receive, transmit, or both frequencies from
their settings on the Main (VFO-A) band frequency (the Clarifier does not affect the Sub (VFO-B) band, however). The
four small numbers on the Multi Display Window show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier controls on the FT
9000MP 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 (#
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 (#
"RX" will appear, and the programmed offset will be
applied to the receive frequency.
3. Rotation of the CLAR/VFO-B knob will allow you
to modify your initial offset on the fly. Offsets 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.
Advice
Turning the Clarifier Off simply cancels the application of
the programmed offset from the receive and/or transmit fre-
quencies. To clear out the programmed Clarifier offsert alto-
gether, and reset it to "zero," press the B.MODE CLEAR
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 Umber lamp to the right of the CLAR/VFO-B knob
is illuminated. If so, pressing the A/B switch (#
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 config-
ured at the factory. If you wish to change this, so that the Clarifier Offset is also displayed on CW, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the MNU key (#
mode.
2. Rotate the MAIN Tuning Dial knob (#

3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob (#
"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 operation.

Without changing the receive frequency, you may
alternatively apply the Clarifier offset to the trans-
mit frequency (typically, for "split" DX pile-ups).
