Thanks....

I also had to change the Step setting to 5kHz in order to be able to select 145.990, it would only select 145.8750 by default.

[@Sparkler333]

I set everything up step by step with your video got the 448575 default frequency. Set my step to 5khz. But still can't get 145990

how can I store thet freqs to have a quick work?

[@alexjh47]

You can't. The radio doesn't support it.

Great info here. Also, congratulations on being the 1st KZbinr I’ve seen make a ft65 video without washing out the screen 😂 people never adjust brightness or camera to make it visible

Thank you! Nice explanation

Great tutorial on how to make this work with an FT65 - but I wouldn't recommend this radio for a beginner that's wanting to work satellites. A full duplex radio is best so that you can hear yourself coming back from the satellite. I often hear people calling and stepping on others during QSOs, and I think that's because they can't hear themselves / any one else, and don't realize they're interfering. Unfortunately a full duplex radio is much more expensive than the FT65 so it may be out of reach for people new to the hobby.

How do I contact the maker of this video

So I bought the FT-65 for this very reason. Can’t afford a dual VFO and cheap radios are cheap. I can’t buy the yagi yet, I may home-brew, but I’d love to see how well 😅the 65 functions on Space Station or satellites. Have you done this? If so, I checked your channel, why don’t you make a video doing so. Great video and thanks!
