A '''computer aided transceiver''' ('''CAT)''') is a device used by [[radio amateurs]] for controlling a [[transceiver]] [[radio receiver]] using a [[computer]].
 
Conventional transmitters are manually controlled and used to transmit voice using buttons, dials, etc. However, advances in electronics have come to market devices that can be controlled by a computer and allow digital modes such as [[packet radio]] and also the use of satellite tracking, because it can continuously change the device's frequency according to the [[Doppler effect]]. This is done by connecting a Radio receiver and a PC using a [[CAT interface]] and a [[CAT Program]]
