FT-950
Operating Manual
[CLAR/VFO-B] knob will allow selection the memory channel.
3.Memory channels “US1” through “US5” are pre-programmed, at the factory, with the permitted frequencies in the 5 MHz band, and the USB mode is automatically selected on these channels.
4.To exit from 60-meter operation and return to the VFO mode, just press the [V/M] button.
Note: The frequencies and operating mode for 5 MHz band operation are fixed, and may not be changed.
CLAR (Clarifier) Operation (VFO-A)
The [TX CLAR], [RX CLAR], [CLEAR] buttons and [CLAR/VFO-B] knob are used to offset either the receive, transmit, or both frequencies from their settings on the VFO-A frequency (the Clarifier does not affect the VFO-B, however). The four small numbers on the Multi-Display Window show the current Clarifier offset. The Clarifier controls on the FT-950 are designed to allow you to preset an offset (up to ±9.990 kHz) without actually retuning, and then to activate it via the Clarifier’s [RX CLAR] and [TX CLAR] buttons. This feature is ideal for following a drifting station, or for setting small frequency offsets sometimes utilized in DX “Split” work.
Here is the technique for utilizing the Clarifier:
1.Press the [RX CLAR] button. In the Multi-Display Window, the “RX” notation will appear, and the programmed offset will be applied to the receive frequency.
2.Rotation of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob will allow you to modify your initial offset on the fly. Offsets of up to ±9.990 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 simply cancels the application of the programmed offset from the receive and/or transmit frequencies. To clear out the programmed Clarifier offset altogether, and reset it to “zero,” press the [CLEAR] button. The programmed offset is displayed in the small multi-channel window of the frequency display.
TXCLAR
Without changing the receive frequency, you may alternatively apply the Clarifier offset to the transmit frequency (typically, for “split” DX pile-ups). See page ?? for details.
