Clar (Clarifier) Operation - Yaesu FT DX 3000 Operating Manual

B O
asic peraTiOn
The [ RX CLAR ] , [ TX CLAR ] , [ CLEAR ] buttons and [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob are used to offset the receive frequency,
the transmit frequency, or both, from their settings on the VFO-A frequency. Four small numbers on the Multi-Display
Window show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier controls on the FT
an offset (up to ±9.999 kHz) without actually retuning, and then to activate it via the Clarifier [ RX CLAR ] and [ TX
CLAR ] buttons. This feature is ideal for following a drifting station, or for setting the small frequency offsets some-
times utilized in DX "Split" work.
Here is the technique for utilizing the Clarifier:
1. Press the [ RX CLAR ] button. The "RX" notation
will appear in the Multi-Display Window, and the
programmed offset will be applied to the receive fre-
quency.
2. Rotation of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob will allow
you to modify your initial offset on the fly. Offsets of
up to ±9.995 kHz may be set using the Clarifier.
To cancel Clarifier operation, press the [ RX CLAR ] but-
ton. The "RX" notation will disappear from the display.

 Turning the Clarifier off merely cancels the applica-
tion of the programmed offset from the receive and/
or the transmit frequencies. To clear the Clarifier
offset, 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.
 You may also activate the clarifier on the VFO-B fre-
quency. In this case, the offset frequency is set using
the Main Tuning Dial knob, instead of the [ CLAR/
VFO-B ] knob.
 The Clarifier operation (including the offset frequen-
cy) will be memorized independently on each VFO
stack of VFO-A and VFO-B.
The Tuning Offset Indicator provides a graphical representation of the Clarifier offset.
In CW mode the factory default setting of the Tuning Offset Indicator shows the
CW Center Tuning, instead of Clarifier Offset. If you wish to change this so that the
Clarifier Offset is also displayed on CW, use the following procedure:
1. Press the [ MENU ] button to enter the Menu
mode.
2. Rotate the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob (or press the
p /q button) to select Menu item "010 BAR
DISPLAY SELECT".
3. Press the [ SELECT ] button, then rotate the
[ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob (or press the p/q button)
to select "CLAR (Clarifier)" (replacing the default
"CW TUNE (CW TUNING)" selection).
4. Press the [ SELECT ] button, then press the
[ MENU ] button to save the new setting and exit
to normal operation.

Alternately, you may apply the Clarifier offset
to the transmit frequency, without changing the
receive frequency (typically, for "split" DX pile-
ups).
