A 'clarifier' is a means of shifting the received frequency slightly to better understand a transmitter that isn't on the same frequency you are. It's the same as a 'RIT' (receiver incremental tuner) on ham radios. If the clarifier is 'locked', meaning that the transmit frequency is fixed, doesn't change with the clarifier's shift, then it can certainly make things easier to listen to. If that transmitter's frequency changes along with that clarifier's shift in received frequency, as was said earlier, the two stations are going to be going up/down the band chasing each other.
So what do you do? Do, or have your transmitter and receiver -calibrated- correctly. Then you know YOU are on frequency and the other guy isn't. Let him fix his stuff.
