Cat200 controller and the Ci-200


 

So have a couple of these cat controllers. The 700 model and the 200 model. 
and although programming these on the air is SO much fun😩
I would rather do this per pc control. 
but there is something called the CI200 which apparently is a interface between the controller and the pc. But CAT went out business and I have NEVER seen one of these devices. Is there a way to build something to accomplish the same task to use the pc or just suck it up and program over the air. 


 

Although nothing wrong with asking here, but you may have better luck in the CAT group.

The CAT-700 uses a 10 pin header.

There aren't that many things to program with a CAT-200. Won't take that long with using DTMF to program it.
