A value of 1011 1110 0110 1111 (the 2-s comple-

ment of the previous example) produces a minus off-
set of -9989.375 Hz. See the byte chart below for a
breakdown of the conversion process.

CAT System Computer Control

Operating Mode - The operating mode is ex-

pressed as a three-bit binary code in offsets 5 ~ 7. Bit
0 contains a User Mode flag, while Bits 1~4 contain
“dummy” values (unused).

IF Filter Selection - The first data bit (Bit 0) con-

tains a flag indicating normal or alternate reception
mode (see table). The remainder of the data byte con-
tains 2 x 4-bit fields separated by a dummy bit. The
first field holds the 3-bit binary code for the 8.2 MHz
2nd IF filter selection, while the second holds the 455
kHz 3rd IF selection. Codes are listed in the bottom of
the table below.

VFO/MEM Indicators - Five flags indicate the sta-

tus of Clarifier (Rx & Tx), Repeater Offset (+/-), and
Antenna Selection (A/B/RX). Bits 0 and 1 are not used
(dummy values).
