There is also a digital VOX option that will put the radio into transmit when audio appears. Saves messing about with the CAT cable.
The CAT connection is still desirable as the WSJT-X software sends band/freq data back to PSKReporter if that tickbox is ticked (and it generally is if the PC has an active internet connection available). Without CAT, it can't be sure what band and frequency the radio is actually tuned to.
Band change is actually done from a drop-down box in WSJT-X and it sets the radio's frequency for the specific mode eg FT8 dial is different to that for JT9, WSPR, etc..
