Clarifier Offset
 When the receiving frequency is
higher than transmit frequency,
“+” will be appended to the off-
set frequency.
When the receiving frequency is
lower than transmit frequency, “–”
will be appended to the offset fre-
quency.
 You may assign the CLAR function to the
[
DSP/
SEL
]
knob via the Menu Item “CLAR”.
NOTE:
 Even when the clarifier is disabled, the variance
of the clarifier remains (both TX and RX frequen-
cies).
 Press and hold in the
[
CLAR
]
button for one sec-
ond to clear the clarifier offset, meaning the re-
ceiving frequency is equal to the transmit fre-
quency.
 When the
[
MAIN DIAL
]
knob is rotated to change
the frequency after disabling the clarifier, the clari-
fier offset becomes “zero”, meaning the receiv-
ing frequency is equal to the transmit frequency.
