Offset Display Mode - Yaesu FT-1000MP Operating Manual

Operation
J Now press the clarifier CLEAR key and observe
that the offset is cleared to zero, and the Main
VFO frequency returns to what it was originally.
The clarifier is commonly used when you are in
contact with a station whose transmitter drifts (or
perhaps you didn't have him quite tuned in when
you called him). You don't want to change your
transmitting frequency, as that would force him to
retune — you just want to adjust your receiver.
When you finish your QSO, remember to press
the clarifier RX button again to turn off the clarifier.
However, if you hear another station you want to
call right on the frequency he was on, instead of
turning off the clarifier, you can just press the TX
clarifier button to bring your transmitter onto the
same frequency, and make your call (now both
the receive and transmit frequencies are offset by
the displayed amount). Keep in mind, however,
that you will need to press both the RX and TX
clarifier buttons again to turn off the clarifier when
you finish. You might also want to clear the offset
when done.
The FT-1000MP actually has an independent
clarifier for each VFO, on every band and alter-
nate sub receiver, plus one on each of the 99
memories. This means that clarifier TX/RX and
offset settings are not carried over when you
change bands or memory channels, but rather are
stored until you return to that VFO, band, sub
receiver, or memory again.
Clarifier Settings
There are several settings that affect clarifier
operation and the way the frequency is displayed
that you should be familiar with. After under-
standing their relationships, you can set them as
desired.
Tuning Steps -The default 10-Hz tuning steps
for the clarifier can be changed similar to the
VFO's using menu function 1-9. Choose between
0.625 Hz, 1.25 Hz, 2.5 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz or 20 Hz
clarifier steps.
Clarifier M-Tune - Programmed memories can
be re-tuned using the clarifier when this is en-
abled (menu function 1-8). We will discuss mem-
ory tuning in detail later on.

Offset Display Mode
The small sub-panel to the right of the MAIN
VFO-A display can be configured to show one of
four different operating parameters.
By default the Tx or Rx clarifier offset appears.
However, this can be changed to the channel
frequency, split offset (difference between VFO-A
and VFO-B), or else the CW Pitch setting. Which
display you choose, of course, depends on your
operating habits, but can be easily changed using
menu function 3-5. The following is a brief de-
scription of each display mode.

Clarifier Offset - this 3-digit display shows the
clarifier Tx or RX offset (+ 9.99 kHz) to be applied
to the operating frequency.
Channel Frequency - this displays the fre-
quency stored in the memory channel displayed
to the right. If the memory has not yet been stored
with data, the display remains blank (except for a
lone decimal point).
Offset - displays the absolute (+/ —) frequency
difference between MAIN VFO-A and SUB VFO-
B. For operators chasing DX stations working
split, this makes tuning "down" easier (no mental
subtraction from your operating frequency is
needed).
CW Pitch - this displays the CW BFO pitch as
adjusted by the PITCH control at the lower right
corner of the front panel.
