Introduction
The Memory Programmer software uses a Personal Computer to quickly enter and save
the FT-65R/E and FT-25R/E memory channel frequencies and data. Also, the many Set
Mode (Menu) settings may be adapted for individual operating preferences. All of the
information is saved. The setting data can be imported from an FT-65R/E or FT-25R/E,
and the edited setting data can be transferred to a FT-65R/E or FT-25R/E .
 Edit the RX frequencies, memory names, CTCSS/DCS settings, transmit power, etc.
that is related to the memory channels.
 Edit the Memory bank link setting.
 Congure the various Set (Menu) Mode options on the computer monitor screen.
 Use handy editing functions, such as copy and paste for each line of memory channel
number.
