Frequency NavigationThe FT-65R/E will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode. The VFO permitsfree tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band in designatedfrequency steps (operating channels).Three basic frequency navigation methods are provided on the FT-65R/E.1) Tuning FrequencyPressing the [] key tunes the FT-65R/E toward a higher frequency, whilepressing the [] key will lower the operating frequency, in steps prepro-grammed for the current operating band.2) Direct Keypad Frequency EntryThe operating frequency may be entered directly from the keypad by press-ing the numbered digits on the keypad in the proper sequence.Examples:To enter 145.560 MHz, press [1]  [4]  [5]  [5]  [6]  [0]To enter 145.000 MHz*, press [1]  [4]  [5]  [0]  [0]  [0]*There is a short-cut to enter frequencies ending in zeros - afterthe last non-zero digit, press and hold the [0/SET] key to enter theremaining zeros.3) ScanningManual VFO Scan:To manually initiate VFO scanning, press and holdeither the [] or [] key to begin upward or down-ward scanning, respectively.Programmed Mode VFO Scan:To begin scanning within a limited sub-band rangefrom the VFO mode, press and hold the [#BAND]key to select the bandwidth for the ProgrammedMode (VFO) scanner. Then press the F key andthe [#BAND] key to start scanning.The scanner will stop when it receives a signalstrong enough to open the Squelch threshold.(Manual VFO Scan)(Programmed ModeVFO Scan)The FT-65R/E will then hold on that frequency in accordance with the “RE-SUME” mode setting (Set Mode Item “25 RESUME”).Press the PTT switch momentarily to cancel the scanning (this only stops thescan; it does not cause a transmission to occur).20Basic OperationFT-65R/FT-65E Operating Manual
