The CAT settings are accessible only in RX mode (see Figure 5-1 MENU SELECTION and Figure 5-4 Menu

is set with the SELECT and SELECT buttons (left or right arrows). Your selection appears in square

If the amplifier CAT port is connected to the transceiver via either BCD Band Data or Band VOLTAGE output,
select the respective interface type on top row and push EXIT button. The other items and values will be
