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, and also the Pursuit satellite because it can continuously change the device's frequency according to the Doppler effect.
