Ya on RX. Gets more on frequency so stations don’t sound like robots or people who’s identities are disguised.

I would put it on TX and RX both. I want to talk where I am listening.
There is no need to use the clarifier on TX on a radio that is VFO tunable in 100 Hz steps. I hardly ever need to touch the VFO on mine, it's rock-solid on frequency. Only have to use the clarifier occasionally on RX and SSB is all I do.
My pleasure Ziploc, have fun. Talking thousands of miles when Mother Nature allows is addicting and your L2 will do it.

I have “both” set on my L2+.I talk where I hear. I talk to a lot of drifty guys I guess lol
I run it that way because I operate mobile and like to run the radio “Channelized”. I can barely see the little line under VFO frequency digit when I am looking at the radio normally, no way I can manipulate that 100hz while driving. It’s just easier for me to use the clarifier.

That tiny cursor is damned hard to see, especially for aging eyes. I wish President hadn't felt the need to make the display quite so CB like with large channel number and the tiny freq display. I rarely look at the channel. But then they did choose to include echo and RB. Good radio tho......

I’m not sure how the old 2510 were on AM but to my surprise mine has dam good audio.
HR2510 / Lincoln (1) are very good SSB performers, don't think they were really meant to be AM monsters, thankfully. All that I ever heard always sound very good. Uniden made. Good stuff. Wouldn't mind having one. Enjoy yours.

Be aware that some of the Lincoln II+ units had the clarifier fixed for RX (RIT) only. Latest units added RX+TX with a new menu option. There is no mod for older versions.
I agree with the VFO operation, clarifier used only for RX.

Just for FYI the only time I would use both TX and RX on a CB was when I was 100% positive the TX is tracking the RX i.e both frequencies are the same. A lot of radios are not synced and this can cause issues.
