I read up on that N6BIL emulator box, it appears its' main purpose is to
emulate an FT-847 for software that does not support the 736.

This won't solve your manual tuning issue. 

A local buddy that uses a 736 does the manual tuning using the tuning
buttons in SATPC32.  He is seriously considering using 2 radios for
transponder SAT's
The 736 for transmit and a another radio for receive.

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.
