No Modified Clarifiers that control both transmit and receive are necessary in any SSB type communications. Recite all the rules you want it isn't going to happen, the SSB Ops will always have the clarifier modified.

Nomadradio is right again.

If there are 2 people in QSO, then locked does not matter much, tune to each other.

But, add a 3rd or 4th person to the QSO, you will CONSTANTLY be tuning to the odd tuned radio(s). With "Unlocked" or "Married" Clarifiers, where you "hear" is where you "talk". All parties tune to one frequency.

All parties tune to one frequency.

Just easier.

Yes just easier.

But when the human character element is in there as several stations are in a loose informal type QSO, someone will say "heah your off frequency" well this starts the stirring of the pot. "No I am on the center slot, dead nutz on, your off frequency" And so the humor goes on for a few minuets until another subject is thrown out there. Like Sharks if there's no one to attack they attack each other, a fun group.

An L2-v3 is still a ways off for me. Recently received the below:

President Electronics
Liberty Microphone
TXMU000


Said to work with every six-pin radio they offer. Besides markings, next to no outward differences from the Uniden wireless.

Operates
DECT @ 1880-1900 MHz


Uniden bc906w:
The frequency & circuit are different.
DECT 6.0 @ 1920-1930 MHz

(Numbers from owners manuals).

You hear someone who sounds off to you so you adjust your clarifier. But that also alters your TX frequency so you now sound off to them. So they alter their clarifier so you sound right to them but that also alters their TX frequency so they now sound off to you again. So you adjust your clarifier so they sound right but that alters your TX frequency so you sound off to them.

Rinse and repeat until you both run out of adjustment or you lose the will to live. That is why it is beyond braindead to have a clarifier that adjusts anything other than receive only. When your clarifier only alters receive they transmit,you adjust your clarifier so they sound right to you, they adjust their clarifier so you sound right to them, nobody's TX frequency has altered so there's no more knob twiddling that needs doing so you both sound right to each other for the rest of the contact.

HUH? The only way you can ever have 3 or more radios on SSB enjoying a solid communications roundtable is if they are all capable of shifting both rec. And Tx freq. at the same time. The only thing that would not make that true would be the clarifiers somehow not done correctly.

This remains one of the funniest posts I’ve encountered re Radio.

I have the Lincoln 2+. I found in the owners manual how to change the up down buttons from Channel to frequency but for the life of me, can't figure out how to change it for the rotory knob. I want to be able to change channels with the rotory knob instead of frequency. Please help?

Move the cursor that is below the frequency numbers to the third digit from the right and then just use the rotary knob to move in 10 kHz steps.
For example the frequency shows as 27.1850. Now push the rotary knob until the cursor is under the 8. Each turn and click of the rotary knob will move the frequency 10 kHz or 1 "channel".

Hope that helps.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. However doing it that way takes two clicks on some channels to get to the next one and if I go above 40 or below 1 it takes me out of the band I'm in.

Exactly. You may be looking a gift horse directly in the mouth. It's not a standard CB, it's a lot more. You have purchased a radio that can tune an almost infinite number of frequencies in three frequency bands (assuming it has been modified to tune the 11 meter band). Why not take advantage of that? Using it in a VFO like manner can take you to frequencies you've probably never had access to before and might open up new opportunities to make contacts or have a quiet "channel" to use. It's probably doubtful those occasional extra clicks will injure you. You might even find it fun after some practice.

Enjoy your radio, it's a pretty nice one.

Yes, I do realize that but what I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to change frequency with up down buttons(which is possible) and change channels with the rotory knob. I've seen videos on YouTube of people using the rotory knob for channels. I just can't figure out how they are setting it up that way. I'm thinking now that it has to be hooked to a pc like my Stryker and changed through the software.

After your posts last night I pulled the manual out and searched, but couldn't find a way to change it in the menu. You are right that you may have to change it in software, if possible. It might be possible to change it in the engineering menu, but be very careful, easy to screw the radio up in there! I don't think the radio was designed to operate the way you want since most folks desire the VFO mode of tuning if they can get it. You might start a new thread here on the forum. Lots of really radio-smart people here.

Good luck

Thank you sir. I sure do appreciate your input and trying to help.
