Hello:

New at this.

What is the "radio term" CAT mean ?

Thanks,

I think I can guess, but it does seem a more obscure term, especially
since it's specific to some radios.

I think it's "Computer Aided Tuning", at least from context. Some
radios have a serial port on the back, allowing you to hook up
a computer so you can tune from the computer, and more obviously
run software to do interesting things like scanning or going through
really large numbers of specific frequencies (like really large memory
for frequencies you want to remember).

It might be a term specific to one brand of radio, but I'm not sure. Since
I've never had a radio that has the ability, I've not paid much attention.
