From everything I've read, the 736R has a fine receiver. The only
issue with using it with satellites today is if you want to use computer control, the CAT port is unidirectional. You can send frequency updates to it, but not read the frequency data from the radio. The limitation that introduces is you can't use the tuning knob to tune around the passband, you'll have to use the controls in SatPC32 (or other software).

Please help me out with critical comments about receiver sensitivity vis-a-vis the venerable FT-736R and latest 2-m/70-cm all-mode transceivers best suited for AMSAT work.
Thanks in advance, Dave N4CVX
