G'day Mike,

Many thanks for your reply. According to the FT990 manual the data bytes
have the following functions:

data1   1/0=TX Clar On/Off, 81h/80h=RX Clar On/Off, ffh=clear offset
data2   0=tune up, 1=tune down
data3   step in khz
data4   step in hz

The program is coded in C++. I believe that there must be a way of tuning
the clarifier using the CAT interface since YAESU has implemented this
function over several models e.g. FT990 and FT1000.
