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.
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.

As a Baofeng enthusiast, I was hesitant on buying this radio due to not many videos on how to program the unit - This video boosted my confidence - Thanks for posting and be safe/stay healthy -
Just got me a Ft-65r and your videos helped me out on getting the silly thing programmed the owners manual did not say anything about the squelch type. Thank you.
New to Ham Radio and bought an FT65R...its quite a learning curve , Thank You for the tutorial its greatly appreciated !! Regards for Canada East Coast .
Great video. I just used this to remind myself how to program repeaters in my Yaesu FT-65 so I can be ready to provide communications at the Lake Placid Iron Man this Sunday. This video is so much nicer than the manual. Thanks for the help! 73s from KD2VRD.
Great video. I fell asleep like half way through. Its not you, it's me. Haha. Its gonna take a minute for me to get into this whole radio thing. This seems really informational.
This is a great video that makes it easy to jump start using this radio. I am giving the radio to my son who just got his license and now I can look smart when I show him how to use it. 73 KB1QU
I'm an old Advanced Class ham. I have made a few hundred contacts back in the day, mainly on the 15 and 20 meter band.. I have been inactive for a long time. I picked this rig up recently and am shocked to see how complicated it is to simply use. I may have to find a local ham to help me, as I still cannot make a contact even after watching this video multiple times. I am trying to put in the Short Mt TN 146.910 repeater info as well as 146.490 simplex. Plus a few other middle Tennessee repeater. Wish me luck.
Man... the link to this video should come with the radio! Like others, I've been knocking my head against the wall out of frustration try to decipher the manual for front panel programming. You really did a solid for FT-65R newbies, thanks so much! 73, KN6VMK
Your video was a great help ,just programmed in my local repeater to memory as i was watching .Well explained and not rushed either. Thank You very much.
Great video, thanks for making this video and sharing it! I've been a ham for many years and have had my FT-65 for a few years now. I use CHIRP to program it but needed to do some manual programming and could not find a better reference resource than this video. Cheers and 73! W3LAM
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.
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!
I just received my FT65 today. This was very helpful and I was able to enter two of our local repeaters in. But, my question is how do I change from one repeater to another?
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.
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?
Great video, I’m new, in Ireland and trying to connect to a repeater, on repeater book is give two frequencies with an offset of +1.6MHz and then it mentions “FM carrier”. What is FM carrier?
Neat radio but I can't believe it doesn't have a M>VFO function that throws the current memory channel & associated settings into the VFO mode. My 30 year old scanner does that.
wow, just got my Y Ft65.. wow, and I thought programming desktop computers were difficult! mm. where is the link to the programming cable, and is there software to use to program this thing? Sorry if I sound kinda dumb.. its been 35 years since I was on air last, with an old kenwood HT, (don't remember the model).
Thank you for the video I just bought the FT65 learning it now. Question - how do you scan Just the frequencies I programmed in the radio? Thank you for your help. subscribed, thanks I think I have figured it out.
I am trying to edit a memory as you describe on the video I am trying to change the repeater from simplex and rep- I follow everything while on mem mode then once back on top menu I press monitor button. The changes appear saved but if I switch memory they are gone
Hey thanks for the video. I have a quick question. I just received a couple hours ago my yaesu 65R and was wondering what are some better antennas for the radio then the one that it comes with. Thank you.
Good question. I haven't played too much with external antennas. I could tell you to start away from the super short antennas, they are horrible (some 40:1 swr) . I do have a chart where I tested all the antennas I own, let me try to dig it up when the painters finish that room. Also, if you buy an antenna, but from a reputable dealer - if you weren't aware, there are quite a few fake diamond and comet antennas out there.
Thankyou for showing me the menu and the hidden menu,, now if i could add police freqs to..in the L1/U01 area but 1) i dont understand how to install them there & 2) it seems the radio rejects me adding the last 0 digit of the police frequencies it just jumps by them.. so confused Thanks again Therin
Hey there. I no longer have the radio, but I'm assuming the PD is operating in a frequency like xxx.xxxx. In that case, you would need to set the radio to a 2.5k step. However, I don't recall this radio having the ability for a 2.5k step. I could be wrong... Good luck
THis is what I was looking for: It is how to skipover (LARGE memory blocks in the 100s) to set-memory/retrieve from Selected scan areas(L1/U01 areas ) this is not in Yaesu Basic or Advance Manual ..... I found it elsewhere the link is on the memorypage-Trick data2.manualslib.com/print_page/en-65f9806680b7c126f812abbafa945185.pdf
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?
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
This is a great big help! I to have a question though. I can't find out how to program and use the home frequency on each of the three bands. I know there is a way according to the manual but I seem to do it.
Good question. I don't have the radio anymore, but I did find this : 1. While operating in VFO Mode, select the desired frequency. 2. Press and hold the *V/M key - a blank memory channel will be displayed 3. Press the P1 key. Home-IN will be displayed , and then exit to normal operation. The home channel is changed and overwrote.
I have a local repeater that is offset - 1.035. When I try to save it the radio rounds it off to 1.0 . I've tried fpp, yaesu software and chirp. Yaesu software rounds it off and fpp rounds it off. Chirp will input 1.035 but when I write to radio the radio rounds it off. Anyone have any ideas?
@@corvuskazak Sorry for the delay. I no longer have the FT65 so it's a bit difficult for me to figure it out. I was looking in the manual and saw option 25 "Repeater" has 3 options: ARS, MODE, and Shift. The shift there is listed as a 0.05mhz-99.95MHZ shift . I would think you should be able to change the shift in that option, but I assume you tried that already. I'm going to keep playing with my FT4X this morning, and though not the same menu, maybe I can find a solution for you.
So I contacted yaesu's support people and this is the email I received: "Hello, The FT-65R cannot be programmed for a 1.035 MHz repeater shift. All you can do is set the radio to VFO split mode as laid out on page 7 of the Advanced Manual. Best regards, "
Definitely can't change the color, I'm uncertain that you can change the Callsign either. Unfortunately, I gave the radio away, so I can't be of much help
@@HAMRADIODUDE ok thanks I could have sworn I watched a video that showed both for this radio but maybe I’m confused with the ft70 I debated between the two of them . Anyhow thanks again for the reply
CHIRP works, but the pin spacing is proprietary (closer together) from the Boafeng, so you need to buy a Yaesu cable, also if you want any plug in accessories (mic/speaker, headset) you're stuck with Yaesu.
I no longer have this radio but found this : "Unlock Transmission Range - MARS/CAP Mod . Party on. Allows you to transmit on non-ham bands like FRS. Expanded Transmit Frequency Range: 137.000 - 174.000 MHz and 420.000 - 470.000 MHz. To Enable the Mod: Turn the radio off. Hold down PTT and the middle-side button (T/Call) while you turn the radio back on. You’ll see “F1 SET.RST”. Then type in 32406665. The radio will reboot itself. Repeat to undo"
hello just a quick question......on option 24 repeater.....when i change the ARs to ON the Mode automatically changes to simplex but i want it to stay -rep. How do i fix this? Thanks VE3ZYO
What frequency? It may do that because ARS is deciding for you what shift you should be on based off the frequency. Or if you change frequencies in VFO mode, that may reset it
That’s a great video! It really helped me understand how to program my FT65. However, I got a problem with two repeaters here in Philippines, I can’t input repeater shift: (-) 6.78m. I notice it has an incrimental +25m or -25m... meaning my nearest point is 6.77m or 6.80m... is there a way that I can reduce the incriment from 25m to 5m, so that I can input 6.78? Thank you for helping me out
Hello, I don't have this radio anymore. As I recall from other comments, Yaesu only allows for 0.05 offset increments. to change the offset , look at page 28 of this manual - www.yaesu.com/downloadFile.cfm?FileID=13236&FileCatID=151&FileName=FT%2D65R%5FE%5FOM%5FENG%5FEH066M105%5F1710C%2DFC.pdf&FileContentType=application%2Fpdf Hopefully that will help you!
If you can hear the repeater but not transmit, you probably have the wrong CTCSS/PL tone in the radio or there is a possibility that you are too far to transmit, but you can still receive. I would need more information. Do you have a PL tone in the radio?
Hello, I no longer have access to the radio. As I recall, they were only for setting the radio to go to Home, the TX Power Level, the Squelch Type, and the Reverse frequency of a repeater. Sorry I cannot be of more help
Hopefully this will help: Disable ARS (automatic repeater shift) (option 24 repeater).Once ARS is set to off, in the same menu (option 24), you should be able to manually adjust the repeater shift. To do that, select shift, hit the F button, and use the up and down arrows to adjust. I believe that's the accurate instructions, but I no longer have the radio to confirm. Good luck!
Your video is very good with your totally confusing why can't you just program frequencies in repeater from 1 to 10 instead of putting all these labels in putting your call sign is fine but it's just overwhelming I rather have all the frequencies in from 1 to 10 or 1 to 20 I don't know why you're going through all that it doesn't make sense to me yes your call sign that's great but the rest of it is just your way of beating track
ok dont mention a programing cable you made and not have a shortcut to it, lol, I looked thru your videos and could not find anything pertaining to it., thanks

What are you having troubles with? I thought my documentation was pretty good, but I could try to help if there is an issue.
What we need to know is go through the menu explaining what they are and do .

I would think you should be able to change the shift in that option, but I assume you tried that already. I'm going to keep playing with my FT4X this morning, and though not the same menu, maybe I can find a solution for you.
@@HAMRADIODUDE the shift will only do 0 or 5. Example 1.055 however I need 1.035. It won't let me in put the 3. It rounds it to 5 or 0.
So I contacted yaesu's support people and this is the email I received: "Hello,
The FT-65R cannot be programmed for a 1.035 MHz repeater shift. All you can do is set the radio to VFO split mode as laid out on page 7 of the Advanced Manual.
Best regards, "
So I have a couple of questions,,
How do I set my call sign to opening message?
And how do you change the backlight color ?
Thanks in advance
Definitely can't change the color, I'm uncertain that you can change the Callsign either. Unfortunately, I gave the radio away, so I can't be of much help
@@HAMRADIODUDE ok thanks I could have sworn I watched a video that showed both for this radio but maybe I’m confused with the ft70 I debated between the two of them . Anyhow thanks again for the reply
How do you program the upper & lower limit for scanning?
I took this from the yaesu manual. let me know if you need any assistance - ibb.co/b2JgGBp
Hi do you know how to save to memory banks? or if chirp works with the baofeng programing cable on this?
CHIRP works, but the pin spacing is proprietary (closer together) from the Boafeng, so you need to buy a Yaesu cable, also if you want any plug in accessories (mic/speaker, headset) you're stuck with Yaesu.
Great job! Do you know of a way to remove (not edit) a name for a channel? Not sure what would happen if all of the chars are deleted.
So I got 2 of these and one relieves and sends and the others sends but doesn't recieve... what do I do?
I'd check to make sure one of them doesn't have tones enabled that another doesn't
What if the repeater doesn't list a CTCSS tone?
I'd assume they aren't using tones then. Best thing to do is to give it a shot. 73
How do you scan with this radio ?? KD9NIT
in memory mode, hold the up or down arrow down for approximately 1.5 seconds.
How can I get MURS on radio
I no longer have this radio but found this : "Unlock Transmission Range - MARS/CAP Mod . Party on. Allows you to transmit on non-ham bands like FRS. Expanded Transmit Frequency Range: 137.000 - 174.000 MHz and 420.000 - 470.000 MHz.
To Enable the Mod: Turn the radio off. Hold down PTT and the middle-side button (T/Call) while you turn the radio back on. You’ll see “F1 SET.RST”. Then type in 32406665. The radio will reboot itself. Repeat to undo"
if i enable dual display can i listen 2 frequencies?
Not simultaneous, unfortunately
hello just a quick question......on option 24 repeater.....when i change the ARs to ON the Mode automatically changes to simplex but i want it to stay -rep. How do i fix this? Thanks VE3ZYO
What frequency? It may do that because ARS is deciding for you what shift you should be on based off the frequency. Or if you change frequencies in VFO mode, that may reset it

That’s a great video! It really helped me understand how to program my FT65. However, I got a problem with two repeaters here in Philippines, I can’t input repeater shift: (-) 6.78m. I notice it has an incrimental +25m or -25m... meaning my nearest point is 6.77m or 6.80m... is there a way that I can reduce the incriment from 25m to 5m, so that I can input 6.78? Thank you for helping me out
Hello, I don't have this radio anymore. As I recall from other comments, Yaesu only allows for 0.05 offset increments. to change the offset , look at page 28 of this manual - www.yaesu.com/downloadFile.cfm?FileID=13236&FileCatID=151&FileName=FT%2D65R%5FE%5FOM%5FENG%5FEH066M105%5F1710C%2DFC.pdf&FileContentType=application%2Fpdf Hopefully that will help you!
@@HAMRADIODUDE thank you! I’ll check it out later when I get home... Thanks!
What about the P1-P4 buttons?
I don't really remember unfortunately. I gave the radio away, I believe.
I dont know what i do wrong. I can hear the repeater but i can transmit.
If you can hear the repeater but not transmit, you probably have the wrong CTCSS/PL tone in the radio or there is a possibility that you are too far to transmit, but you can still receive. I would need more information. Do you have a PL tone in the radio?
@@HAMRADIODUDE Everything is ok. I think that i cant transmit but now i can. Thanks.
Wht are you covering the same thing as everyone else
Hi, is there a way to set a P button to start and stop a scan?
Hello, I no longer have access to the radio. As I recall, they were only for setting the radio to go to Home, the TX Power Level, the Squelch Type, and the Reverse frequency of a repeater. Sorry I cannot be of more help
How to change the step of the repeater shift for this radio station?
Hopefully this will help: Disable ARS (automatic repeater shift) (option 24 repeater).Once ARS is set to off, in the same menu (option 24), you should be able to manually adjust the repeater shift. To do that, select shift, hit the F button, and use the up and down arrows to adjust. I believe that's the accurate instructions, but I no longer have the radio to confirm. Good luck!
@@HAMRADIODUDE Thank you!
Tutorial para desbloquear yaesu ft-4v?
Confused.
Turn it on
i just want to use them as regular walkies... i spent $50 more for 2 of these than some crappy regular motorola walkies.
Yeah, these are Ham Radios. What bands are you trying to use them as walkie talkies on?
Thank you! 73 kb0mjh
anytime
Your video is very good with your totally confusing why can't you just program frequencies in repeater from 1 to 10 instead of putting all these labels in putting your call sign is fine but it's just overwhelming I rather have all the frequencies in from 1 to 10 or 1 to 20 I don't know why you're going through all that it doesn't make sense to me yes your call sign that's great but the rest of it is just your way of beating track
Could possibly be my Callsign was my repeater or node. Glad you enjoyed the video
ok dont mention a programing cable you made and not have a shortcut to it, lol, I looked thru your videos and could not find anything pertaining to it., thanks
