'''Computer Aided Transceiver (CAT)''' is an English term widely used by [[radio amateurs]] designating a device 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 allowing 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]].
