Yaesu FT65 Manual Programming, editing and deleting

[@PiatekMichal]

To tune a saved channel you select the memory channel, press band button. You should see a small "tun" text flashing on the left corner of the screen, just punch the new frequency in or use arrow keys. At least this is how it works on my FT65E purchased recently. Maybe they updated the firmware or something to make it easier.

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Many Thanks for the helpful suggestion! I have pinned your comment so others may find this useful information, easily. 73!

[@racerveza4904]

What Michal writes will allow you to temporarily tune to a different frequency. To save your edits permanently, you need to follow a couple more steps. After entering your new frequency, press and hold the *v/m button. Then use the up/down arrows to select the number of the channel you want to edit. (It will be flashing on the left side of the screen.) Then press and hold *v/m again to save your edit.

[@Norseman2]

What if you’re already on the memory channel you want to edit? Would you just press V/M again?

[@ToddHa]

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only ham that uses the -V or -U or just adding the V or U to the suffix of Memory Channel Names in general. Admittedly, I use geo-locations for Memory Channel Names when possible. Here in STL Metro, locations like: BellvV or BellvU for Belleville, IL. Edw-V or Edw-U for Edwardsville, IL. Mary-V or Mary-U for Maryville, IL. AltonV or AltonU for Alton, IL. DtStlV or DtStlU for Downtown St Louis, MO. Clay-V or Clay-U for Clayton, MO. Arnd-V or Arnd-U for Arnold, MO. HighR-V1, HighR-V2, HighR-U1, HighR-U2 for the High Ridge, MO repeaters (6 or more). Etc. It really depends on the total length of the Name permitted for the Name by the individual radio. The FT-65R permits up to 8-letter character names. Making it one of the better ones.

Great Video! I love this radio but it is especially -quirky- Even more so than UV5 so your video is mandatory unless you want to drive yourself crazy. I have one repeater that has UHF input and VHF output, especially tricky - but you can save the VFO result to example P2 if you want. The memories don't support long offsets. The radio itself feels good in your hand, it's the radio you are proud to have with you.

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Thank You for commenting. Nice comment and writeup. This is something I never considered about the UHF in and VHF out, but that is a great suggestion. Thanks. I am trying to get my hands on another one of these, but right now they are all backordered. I'm glad you dig this radio!

You can set the display so that it will show the name and frequency at the same time. That is how I have mine set up since I am relatively new to the area that I am in and still learning repeaters and such. Just check your manual.

Figured out how to edit the frequency. Go to vfo mode, enter new frequency, hold v/m, select channel (in the video it was 15) then hold v/m

If 15 was the last channel memory used and I wanted to program the next frequency and save it in memory 30, can I do that or am I forced to store the next one in memory 16?

I’m a newbie and this is my first ham radio, got it a couple days ago. Haven’t yet figured out how to access my preset repeaters. Obviously, when programming the radio (as you’ve shown), the preset # is displayed-such as 8- yet I cannot figure out how to actually get to 8 after it’s saved! Doesn’t appear like a car radio where you just press 8 and you’re on that station. Anyone know?

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Sure. I don't have the radio in front of me at the moment but you should be in memory mode to get to 8. At that point you could either use the up and down arrows or you should be able to type in 08 or 008. Give that a shot. Memory mode is typically shown with a V/M button. Again, I don't have a radio on me so I'm not completely sure where that button is on the 65

Do you know by any chance how to program a repeater channel in memory mode so that it would have split tones? Specifically, DCS on TX and CTCSS on RX. The offset is regular: +5.000 MHz. I know setting the DCS TX tone would normally be sufficient. But there is a strong competing repeater when propagation picks up. Plus, it drives me nuts that I can't figure it out. Is it even possible on this radio? For example, on Wouxuns it's a cinch. Not sure about this one.

Question: how come I cannot input certain channels? I was trying to input 462.347 and it auto inputs 462.350. I’m not a radio guy, so I’m confused.

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Hello, my best guess is your channel Steps are set to something like 25khz. Meaning, the radio may default to 25khz steps. 462.350, 362.375 etc. I am unsure if the FT65 has a spacing for 462.347 or what would use that, but you can try changing the channel spacing. I don't have the radio anymore, but it is located withing the menus under "STEP". This may work for you: Enter Frequency Mode: Press the V/M key to switch to VFO mode (Frequency mode) if you're not already in it. Access the Menu: Press and hold the F/W key to enter the menu settings. Navigate to the Step Setting: Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the menu until you find the "STEP" option. This is where you can adjust the channel step. Select the Step Size: Press PTT or MONI/SCAN to enter the STEP setting. Use the up/down arrow keys to select your desired step size (e.g., 12.5 kHz, 25 kHz, etc.). Confirm and Exit: Press the F/W key again to confirm the selection. Press V/M or PTT to exit the menu. Good luck!

i just want to use them as regular walkies... i spent $50 more for 2 of these than some crappy regular motorola walkies.

[@HAMRADIODUDE]

Yeah, these are Ham Radios. What bands are you trying to use them as walkie talkies on?
