I say it's best to keep your clarifiers LOCKED! If you can't check your TX frequency for accuracy yourself, have someone who is knowledgeable do it for you. People on 11 meters are all over the place anyhow.

Let other people tune to you. Otherwise as M0VGZ said, with unlocked clarifiers you'll be chasing each other all over the place!

You can clarify them if needed but keep YOUR TX frequency consistent.

The RCI2900 series are VFO tuning so you can " slide between channels". That was typically why people would unlock clarifiers anyway because with typical CB's,you couldn't get there otherwise.

The VFO lower range on the 2900 series is 100 Hz so this isn't the best for clarifying TX/RX.

A 7 digit frequency counter with the tuning step down to10 Hz would be more useful and practical with a VFO tuning radio.
