GBCAT – Computer Aided Transceiver
What is GBCAT?
Available for all: updated GBCAT document in English, PDF format:[wpdm_file id=31]
GBCAT is PC software for controlling amateur radio devices through a COM/USB port or through a TCP/IP network, with the ability to transfer a 2-way audio signal over a TCP/IP network. GBCAT is composed of three parts: the base module, the extended command set A, and the extended command set B. In the registered version, all modules retain their functions, regardless of whether they are displayed on the screen or not. The GBCAT installation package also contains: an integrated Remote Desktop Connection, an IPCOM Server/COM2IP Redirector, and an Audio Server/Client.
What’s new in GBCAT v0.9b8?
– Bug fix (TS-2000): SWAP button now correctly swaps frequencies between VFO-A and VFO-B, no matter which operating Mode is being used.
– Bug fix (TS-2000 bug, reported by Brian, KB3ORS): CTRL button is now active, while in Memory mode.
Added features:
Set FQ
(button, for Yaesu FT-8×7 series, Kenwood TS-2000)
This feature allows direct entry of a new frequency value to the masked textbox. Setting a RIG to the new frequency has to be confirmed by click on “Set FQ” button. For Yaesu FT-8×7 series, this feature is available immediately, whenever GBCAT starts (test: Mladen, 9A6DAC). For Kenwood TS-2000, this feature is available by clicking the “NUMF” button, which has two functions: Switching the GBCAT to “Set FQ” feature and back to the “QM IN” feature, which is described later in this document.
