The
FT-65R/E
will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, a channelized sys-
tem which allows free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band.
Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the
FT-65R/E
:
1) Tuning Frequency
Pressing the [
] or [
] key allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps estab-
lished for the current operating band. [
] key causes the
FT-65R/E
to be tuned
toward a higher frequency, while [
] key will lower the operating frequency.
2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
The desired operating frequency may be entered directly from the keypad.
To enter a frequency from the keypad, just press the numbered digits on the
keypad in the proper sequence.
Examples:
To enter 145.560 MHz, press [
1
]
[
4
]
[
5

[

3) Scanning
Press and hold in either the [
] or [
] key for one
second to initiate upward or downward scanning, re-
spectively (Manual VFO Scan).
For scanning within a limited sub-band range, from
the VFO mode, press and hold in the [
#BAND]
key
for one second and to begin scanning toward a high-
er frequency within the previously-defined sub-band (Programmed VFO Scan).
If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency,
instead of a higher frequency), just push the [
] key
while the FT-65R/E is
scanning
. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert to scanning toward
a higher frequency once more, push the [
].
The scanner will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through
the Squelch threshold. The
FT-65R/E
will then hold on that frequency accord-
ing to the setting of the “RESUME” mode (Set Mode Item
25: RESUME
). Press
the
PTT
switch momentarily to cancel the scanning. This only stops the scan; it
does not cause transmission to occur.
