to operate with the clarifier switched on to be able to resolve the
other station. Antone know how I can adjust this??

This is a Mk1 (i.e. no mark), right? Not a MkII.

Is it OK on FM, but not on USB? And what about LSB and CW?

Is the SSB modulation still OK?

Yes it's a MK1
Seems fine on FM
Haven't tried on CW (no-one seems to be using thant mode on 2m)
Similarly have only worked other stations on USB so not sure about LSB
