The thing to keep in mind is that there are lots of out there that are not capable of operating fully computer controlled because of equipment limitations. Although it's been a few years since I've been on the birds, I used an early Yaesu 736 which has one way CAT control. Although theoretically possible to completely contgrol frequency with a PC that way, it is such a pain in the ass to dial around a passband looking for contacts from the computer as compared to grabbing the VFO knob on the radio. I usedd teh computer to control the antennas but not the VFO.
