The true pity is that the rig IS physically capable of talking to the computer, but the only thing it knows how to say is what the status of the Squelch is (open/closed), and what the S-meter is reading.  It should be a trivial matter of software to report other things, but apparently the only use the CAT designers considered was remote (computer-driven) scanning and monitoring.
