CLAR (CLARIFIER) OPERATION
The [RX CLAR], [TX CLAR],[CLEAR], buttons and [VFO-B/CLAR] knob are used to offset the received frequency, the transmit frequency, or both, from their settings on the VFO-A frequency. Four small numbers on the TFT Display show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier controls on the FTDX1200 are designed to allow you to preset an offset (up to ±9.99 kHz) without actually returning, 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 sometines 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 TFT Display, and the programmed offset will be applied to the recive frequency.

  2. Rotation of the [VFO-B/CLAR] 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 Clarifier operation, press the [RX CLAR] button. The "RX" notation will disappear from the display

ADVICE:

Turning the Clarifier off merely cancels the application 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] button. The programmed offset is displayed in the small multi-channel window of the frequency display.

The Clarifier operation (including the offset frequency) will be memorized independently on each VFO stack of VFO-A and VFO-B.
