Page 47FTDX9000MP OPERATION MANUALBASIC O PERATION : R ECEIVING ON AMATEUR B ANDSCLAR (CLARIFIER) O PERATION ON MAIN (VFO-A)The CLAR button and CLAR/VFO-B knob are used to offset either the receive, transmit, or both frequencies fromtheir settings on the Main (VFO-A) band frequency (the Clarifier does not affect the Sub (VFO-B) band, however). Thefour small numbers on the Multi Display Window show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier controls on the FT DX9000MP are designed to allow you to preset an offset (up to ± 9.999 kHz) without actually retuning, and then to activate itvia the Clarifier’s RX ( FAST RX ) and TX ( BAND/MHz TX ) buttons. This feature is ideal for following a driftingstation, 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 (# ). The LED imbeddedin the switch will glow Red, and “CLAR” will appearon the display to signify that rotation of the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# ) will allow setting of a frequencyoffset.2. Press the FAST/RX switch (# ). On the display,“RX” will appear, and the programmed offset will beapplied to the receive frequency.3. Rotation of the CLAR/VFO-B knob will allow youto 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.TXCLARWithout changing the receive frequency, you mayalternatively apply the Clarifier offset to the trans-mit frequency (typically, for “split” DX pile-ups).See page 97 for details.AdviceTurning the Clarifier Off simply cancels the application ofthe 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 CLEARswitch (# ). The programmed offset is displayed in thesmall multi-channel window of the frequency display.NoteIf the Clarifier seems not to be operating, check to see ifthe Umber lamp to the right of the CLAR/VFO-B knobis illuminated. If so, pressing the A/B switch (# ) willcause 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 followingprocedure:CLAR/VFO-B KnobB.MODE/CLEAR KeyCLAR SwitchFAST RX Switch1. Press the MNU key (# ) to enter the Menumode.2. Rotate the MAIN Tuning Dial knob (# ) toselect Menu item [DISPLAY 016 BAR DISPLAYSELECT].3. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# ) to select“CLAR” (replacing the default “CW-TUNE” se-lection).4. Press and hold in the MNU key for two seconds tosave the new setting and exit to normal operation.(TX frequency < RX frequency)(TX frequency = RX frequency)(TX frequency > RX frequency)
