Vertex Standard FT-1000MP manual Clarifier Settings, Offset Display Mode

OPERATION

DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE

When you finish your QSO, remember to press the Clarifier RX button again to turn off the Clarifier. You might also want to clear the offset when done.

The MARK-VFT-1000MPhas an independent Clarifier for each VFO, on every band, plus one on each of the 99 memories. This means that Clarifier TX/RX and offset settings are not (improperly) carried over when you change bands or memory channels, but rather are stored in the same condition you last set them until you return to that VFO, band, sub receiver, or memory again.

Clarifier Settings

There are several settings that affect Clarifier op- eration and the way the frequency is displayed that you should be familiar with. After understanding their rela- tionships, 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 enabled (menu function 1-8). We will discuss memory 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 differ- ent 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 fol- lowing is a brief description of each display mode.

Clarifier Offset - this 3-digit display shows the Clari- fier Tx or RX offset (±9.99 kHz) to be applied to the operating frequency.

Channel Frequency - this displays the frequency stored in the memory channel displayed to the right. If the memory has not yet been stored with data, the dis- play remains blank (except for a lone decimal point).

Offset - displays the absolute (+/–) frequency dif- ference 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 ad- justed by the PITCH control at the lower right corner of the front panel.
