Finally, GBCAT – Computer Aided Transceiver v1.0, a new Windows software for controlling amateur radio devices through a COM/USB port or through a TCP/IP network, with the ability to transfer a 2-way audio signal over a TCP/IP network, is born!

GBCAT development has been ongoing for two years, and takes all of the author’s free time; nevertheless, GBCAT is free of charge, only the simple registration (Name and Call) is required.

I want to thank the all members of the GBCAT Beta Test team, who were testing GBCAT in the Beta phases, helping me to achieve GBCAT looks and works the way it does in version v1.0: Mike N7NMS, Kevin KG0MN, Jim K5LAD (also lecturer/proofreader), Sandor KG4FET, Brian KB3ORS, John G4IAL, Ian M1EHI, Drasko 9A4HP, Dzenan E77DD, Mladen 9A6DAC, Oto 9A4OP, Zlatko 9A6SJZ.
