Before commiting to a new TM-V71A, as it does not have CAT control is there a way to do Doppler correction other than manually selecting pre-programmed memory channels? In other words would it be possible to computer control the frequency from Gpredict or the Fox Telemetry software?

On FM at 70cm at most you have to adjust the frequency four times as a sat passes over you.
I'm not aware of any way to computer control it but it is not a big deal on FM at 70cm. 2m downlink you might adjust twice at most with Fox birds. Not required to on 2m uplink on SO-50 at all.
I have that radio and it is great for FM sats.
