Effective Datatransmission over Shortwaves. PACTOR-II & PACTOR-III, Compact unit, Low power consumption, GPS interface for NMEA data. The Multimode-Controller for PACTOR-III, PACTOR-II, PACTOR-I, AMTOR, NAVTEX, RTTY, CW, FAX, SSTV, AUDIO-Filter, Packet-Radio and PSK31
The PTC-IIIusb allows direct connection to a USB interface of the modern notebook, and thus expands the SCS equipment program. The PTC-IIIusb is constructed using existing equipment technology and its application is to be found mainly in the connection of clients. As a speciality, the PTC-IIIusb is equipped with a transceiver control port, which allows remote control of the connected radio via software.
The Hardware
- Fully compatible to existing software by using a virtual COM port assigned by the USB driver.
- One single connector to the HF/VHF transceiver for all modes.
- Transceiver control for ICOM, YAESU, SGC, KENWOOD and Rohde&Schwarz, including RS232 for modern transceivers.
- Supported by Airmail/GetFax.
