Thanks for all the responses on the FT-736 and the pointers to the pic
hardware emulator.
Just to be clear, does the N6BIL emulator allow the manual tuning of the
FT-736?
It would seem that the lack of the ability to tune is a significant problem
to making contacts.
No, an emulator/translator won't allow the FT-736R to be manually
tuned. This is a limitation of the ancient CAT interface on this
radio. The only way you could manually tune the 736 would be with an
external encoder connected to the translator's micro, so the translator
can send the VFO adjustments to the radio and the new frequencies (that
were sent to the radio) back to the PC.
