CAT Command Manager - CAT commands are radio specific or, to put it another way, what works on one type to do a certain thing may either not do anything at all on another or do something entirely different.

This option may have been provided so that you may be able to initiate commands that have not been provided for in the program. This might occur if you have had a firmware upgrade.


General Command Information:

YAESU

Each YAESU command consists of five bytes. The bytes are defined in the order in which they are sent to the radio. You must add a - between each byte.

Each command consists of four bytes of data and an opcode. The order in which P1-P4 are shown in your operating manual does not matter here. Please read your operating manual for command information.
