Uniden AX 144 - Manual (Page 10)

The AX 144 operates on 40 AM channels, 40 Upper Side Band channels and 40
Lower Side Band channels.
When you receive the SSB signal in the proper mode, audio sound may be either
too high pitched or low pitched, indicating that your receiver may not be tuned to
the exact same frequency as the transmitter to which it is listening. The AX 144 is
equipped with a Clarifier. By tuning the Clarifier, you can slightly change the
frequency of the receiver, so you get a normal tone.
