101Cats User Guide and Wiki

101Cats is a free Windows CAT control program for the Yaesu FTdx101 series of radio transceivers. It has been developed by Martin (G8FXC) with input from a small band of active users. The source code for 101Cats is available to interested parties subject to some simple terms and conditions. Please contact the author using this email address to request access.

N.B. The current release of 101Cats is very definitely a Windows-only program. The author has developed it for his own use and, while he makes it available for others, it is not a commercial product and only targets the author's requirements. It is heavily dependent on Windows technologies and the effort required to port it to other operating systems seems likely to be high. The source code is available on request and the author would welcome the development of versions targeting Linux or MacOS if anyone with the necessary skills wishes to do it!

That said, version 2 of 101Cats is in development and the code is being migrated to the Avalonia development platform. Avalonia supports multiple operating systems including Linux and MacOS. An experimental build of 101Cats V2 has run under Linux and it seems probable that builds for non-Windows operating systems will be made available.
