[1000mp] 1000MP Clarifier Problem

[Mike Gilmer, N2MG]

How do you clear the "RIT" then?  Maybe you never need to, but I use the
clear button all the time.  I hate it when I've tuned off freq to hear a
caller and then miss the next guy because I forgot to clear the RIT.

What I like about RIT is that you can clear it instantly.  If you use the
subVFO to RX and the main to TX, then the a->b does the same (though it
takes a second to activate on the MP)..but the subVFO doesn't have the same
receiver features as the main VFO.

So RIT it is for me.
