Scan the programmed channels
After you program multiple channels, you can scan through them to select one to use. The FT-65r,
by default, uses a Resume mode when scanning (see menu option #25, Resume, described on p. 35
of the FT-65r Operating Manual), which means it will stay on an active channel until one second
after the transmission ends (waiting for a response to the previous transmission) before it resumes
scanning.

Press the
*V/M
key repeatedly until you are in Memory mode, as indicated by a three-digit
channel number in the upper-left corner of the screen.

The Up arrow starts at the current channel and progresses up through all the programmed
