It doesn't have a VFO function. It's a channelized radio, so that's not a "tuning knob" it's a selector with detents. It's possible that it does also function as a clarifier like you said, but if that's the case it must tune in steps. Hopefully they are tiny steps like 50 or 100 Hz.use main tuning knob to adjust?
Still a huge PITA. Dedicated clarifier control would be much better!
