I own 2 of the q6 and up until the q5n2 came along the q6 was king of the station for me. Most contacts I had even made and most compliments on audio I had ever received until..... the q5n2 took the reigns. The q6 is still an outstanding radio even with a couple of quirks it may have, both mine are dead nuts on center..... at least when the knob is in the correct location. I explain below.
Now If it matters.... I learned that one of those quirks is the clarifier pot. The center of the pot isn't 12 o'clock like we would think it is or how it should be. Turn your clarifier all the way to the right while paying attention to where it stops, then all the way to the left again paying attention to where it stops. That will put your center closer to before or around 1 o'clock! Odd that they would do that but check me on it. If you put it to where you'd think center is then you're not on frequency.
That's the case with mine and a few others I've spoke to who owned the same radio. Maybe it was corrected on later models but I wouldn't know.
