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.

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:

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
frequencywithinthepreviously-denedsub-band(ProgrammedVFOScan).
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.
