This is the nature of the CAT system in the FT-1000D and FT-1000MP.
Any frequency command will disable the clarifier (both TX and RX).
It is not something that is easily coded around ... the programmer
would need to record the state of both the XIT and RIT, set the new
frequency and then reenable XIT and/or RIT.
It can be done but it's not trivial and would add a significant
amount of overhead to every "set frequency" command.
