Glad you got it figured out.
Good job Steve!

I want to say a special thanks to Steve NS3L. I called Steve and we determined I had the wrong cable from the radio to the pc. I bought a programming cable instead of a CAT interface cable. He is sending me a cable to use until I can buy a new one. Thanks to all who has given me advice on this issue.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I was reading the Mac Doppler manual today trying to figure out something unrelated, and it mentioned the FT-736R had a problem related to CAT mode. Here is the text from the manual, perhaps it is relevant:
"Due to a problem with the FT-736R (see note in FT-736R manual page 36 bottom left) you may have to take MacDoppler out of CAT mode, press the REV key on the FT-736R front panel, and return to CAT mode when switching between mode U/V and V/U in Full Duplex, for example: switching from FO-20 to AO-10 and back. The SAT switch must be in one of the full duplex positions for this to work. Alternately, you could take MacDoppler out of CAT mode, use the VFO buttons to switch from U/V to V/U, and then turn CAT mode back on - this will only work if you have one VFO set to U/V and the other VFO set to V/U. If you have other modules installed in the FT- 736R, you can set the 'BetweenPasses' frequencies in the modes editor to something these other modules can tune and that way allow switching from U to V and V to U automatically when the satellite changes. It does this to avoid trying to set VFO A and B to the same band. The FT-847, as originally delivered (before sn 8G052xxx), could not poll the radio for frequency and mode information. This was added beginning with the 8G05 production runs."

Can anyone help me get my Yaesu FT-736R to run on SatPC32? I bought a
cable
that will link the radio to the pc (via USB). But all it does is automatically puts the radio in "CAT mode" and doesn't change
frequencies,
when I shut it down, my radio is locked up and have to power cycle to
get it
out of CAT mode. What settings do I need to change in SatPC32?
I have been working on this for months to figure it out, I want to get
back
on birds. I am getting a little frustrated with this radio.
Thanks for any advice
