Opening the clarifier is illegal according to the FCC and

tossing your aluminum can in the garbage when you're supposed to
recycle: like an old blue-law, not enforced and only the truly
deranged
get excited about such behavior.

Hey twistie whats the fine for tossing out aluminum can?

Whats the fine for operating outside legal cb channels?

LOL


To open or "unlock" the clarifier will allow you to slide
and deviate your transmit a bit above and below frequency.....this
usually would not be necessary but the majority of ssb
operations today
are either hammie rigs, exports, or cb's with modifications (like
an
unlocked clarifier) resulting in transmissions not being fixed to a
frequency, thus the "tracking" of a signal is often necessary when
in
sideband mode.

complete BS. Twistiehead has a vested interest in getting other people
to operate illegal



So you need to be able to open the clarifier to be able to
hear/talk to
all
the other people that have that function?

only to other people who have ****ed up there radio in a likewise
manner

reliable,,,entry
