Just purchased a FT-736R and I love it, except for 2 problems, the CAT comes on by itself, and occassionally the radio will key up automatically. When the radio is on for a good length of time I will notice the CAT indicator is lit and I have no control of any functions except TX & RX on the frequency it's on. When the radio is in memory scan it doesn't seem to happen, but I can't be sure. I am wondering if there is a program in the CAT calling it on. Bosch gsr 10 8-2-li manual. I have done a master reset, before that the AQS would come on by itself, but that hasn't happened since.How can I see if the CAT is on or off.David W4DWR. ![]() Curious Do you have anything connected to the CAT interface on the back of the radio? I have owned my 736 since 1996 and never had mine come on by itself. When I start the program I use to control the radio, the interface activates but when the program is closed the interface shuts off. If you have anything connected to the CAT interface remove it and see if you still have the problem. If the problem clears up build or buy another interface and try that. If nothing is connected, your CAT should not engage and there is nothing built into the radio calling it to come on. ![]() Yaesu FT-10 Extended Transmit Mod for 140-174MHz use English language.

Thanks I have nothing connected to the back of the radio, when I first received the radio the AQS would come on and key up the radio after it was turned on for awhile usually over an hour. I did a master reset and that seems to have stopped. I noticed yesterday, the cat indicator came on and I just let it go because I was using the radio on that frequency anyway, after about 30 minutes it went off and was okay after that until I shut down for the night. Can I disconnect that board if need be, but not sure which one it is.May I ask what program you use to control the radio, I would like to get it if it is pretty easy to install and use. ![]() I'm retired and although I am very resourceful, I am still in the learning stage with computers, and don't know anyone that could give me advice. I really appreciate the time you have taken to help me out, I love the radio and hopefully will be able to get into satellite work and utilize the capabilities of the unit.David W4DWR. Sorry but it sounds like you may have something wrong with the radio but someone else may have had this problem and can chime in on what you can do. I don't think you can 'cut' the CAT curcuit from the radio since it is most likely hardwired to the processor and you never know what might happen so I wouldn't suggest that. You may want to open it up and see if anyone did a MOD on the radio that may be causing the trouble. It is a long shot but you never know. For software control I use several different programs but this may be the easiest to use.
