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 [ ...
Once you have set up an appropriate frequency inside one of the 144 MHz or 430 MHz Amateur bands on which the FT-65R/E can transmit, you’re ready to go on the air! These are the most basic steps; more advanced aspects of transmitter operation will be discussed later.
OCking In order to prevent accidental frequency change or inadvertent transmission, various aspects of the FT-65R/E’s keypad may be locked out. The possible lock- out combinations are: Operation Display Just the front panel keypad is locked out...
Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, pro- vide a dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand- held or mobile transceivers. The FT-65R/E includes a number of features which make repeater operation simple and enjoyable.

This tone system, called “CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch Sys- tem), is included in your FT-65R/E, and is very easy to activate. 1. Press the F/W key, then press the [ 1 ] or [ 0] key to enable selection of the CTCSS/DCS mode.
Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than does CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-65R/E, and operation is very similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for DCS; if not, DCS is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use transceivers equipped with this advanced feature.
Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620665X20 / IC: 511B-20665X20 eMOry The FT-65R/E provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These in- clude: 200 “Standard” memory channels, numbered “001” through “200.” 2 “Home” channels, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequen- cy on each operating band.
You may also recall the Memory Channel #000 and Programmable Memory channels (“L1/U1” through “L10/U10.”) using the following numbers: Memory Channel #000 = “200,” Programmable Memory channels #L1 = “201,” U1 = “202,” L50 = “209,” and U50 = “210.” FT-65R/E Operating Manual...

FCC ID: K6620665X20 / IC: 511B-20665X20 Canning The FT-65R/E allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operat- ing band, or a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like.
Broadcast station will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels may be “Skipped” during scanning, if you like: FT-65R/E Operating Manual...
MR mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop). Preferential Memory Scan The FT-65R/E also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you can “flag” within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “” icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Prefer- ential Scan List.
NOAA Alert Tone while operating using VFO scan or Memo- ry channel scan. When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the FT-65R/E will check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for activity every five seconds while scan- ning. If you watch the display carefully, you’ll observe the scanner periodically...
