DISCLAIMER: I do not have this radio [I would like to get one],

I was watching a youtube video about it that states that you can adjust your tuning step size from the menu,
if you adjust your steps small enough, you wouldn't need the clarifier
it sounds almost like having a VFO built into the radio

I looked at the manual online and didn't see the menu setting for the step sizes listed
so it may be a "secret" or "hidden" function

Did you buy it new from a reputable source or a "Kitchen Table Radio Hack"?

On a standard, unmodified radio, the clarifier will have NO impact on your transmit frequency. If it has been modified, your "slider" may be causing you to be off frequency and if the mod was not properly done, there may not be enough adjustment to put it back on the right frequency. If it is a standard radio, there are 2 adjustments for SSB frequency. But you need a good frequency counter and the proper specs to adjust the frequency. Oh, and the pcb layout to know where the adjustment points are.

I bought my Lincoln 2 radio from a "Kitchen Table Radio Hack" and had the Clarifier modified so that it tunes in both receive and transmit at the same time. Great radio but I had to read the book on it somewhat. Ever since the 1960's SSB Radios have needed to have the clarifier track both transmit and receive.

I've heard the argument that with modern SSB Radios one doesn't need a modified clarifier because all the newer radios are all on the same frequency. WRONG! Many older radios are out there, and many Ham radios are out there, and many operators don't know how to tune there SSB Radios for dead nutzz center slot, so one needs a clarifier that again tracks both transmit and receive at the same time.

Have a Happy 4th of July weekend.

The President Lincoln II has a “hidden” service menu that will make the adjustment you need. If you still need to know the process, I can detail it for you, but the particular menu item will allow you to adjust the BFO for each mode.
If you don’t have test equipment to measure the frequency, you would at least need another radio, known to be “on frequency”, to tune to.

Hello 21R473: Yeah post that secret procedure, thanks.

This YouTube video shows the procedure...
President Lincoln II engineering menu

This is not my video, but I have used the procedure shown, and it works. I had to make slight adjustments to both my Lincoln II and Lincoln II+, and it got the LSB TX where I wanted it.

Yo 21IR473: Good deal, I had no idea that a "Engineering Program" existed. Wonder if there is any documentation on all this for the Lincoln II Radio?
Thanks

Its funny how modern ham equipment works with out a modified "Clairifier" hahahahah . And there is still plenty of "OLD" equipment out there too.
