Hi Mike, I don't use it to control my radios, as I have a custom set of interfaces. I use predict (the text-based one) as the IP server for a homebrew CAT driver, and I modified the predict source so that it output the proper strings for Az/El control. Gpredict supports all the pass prediction and planning activities, and the graphical eye candy. Someday I'll combine things and use Gpredict for everything, but I haven't gotten to that yet.
And even if I did, my radio is a Yaesu 736R, which has the annoying CAT interface that disables the rig's knobs and switches when it's engaged. So, I wouldn't be able to tell. Sorry, not much help on those points.
