About Pactor Modems
There are two models of Pactor
III Radio Modems from which to choose; The SCS
P4DR-7800
Dragon, and the PTC-III. Both modems plug directly into a computer's USB
port, and with the proper terminal software, e.g., Airmail or
SimplePro32, both modem models provide computerized frequency
control of your radio.

In a word, the
P4DR-7xxx
modems are f a s t... With a maximum net throughput of 10,500 bps The
P4DR-7800
and DR-7400
P4dragon
modems sport twice the
throughput speed of PTC-IIIusb. The
P4DR-7xxx
modems push data modulation
techniques to the maximum possible while meeting governmental
HF signal bandwidth requirements. Download the

A compact, cost-reduced version of the original PTC-IIusb modem, the PTC-IIIusb
saves you $100 off the cost of the original PTC-IIusb with
Pactor-III, but still provides the same 5200 bps net throughput.
Designed with cruisers needs in mind, the PTC-IIIusb measures
a diminutive 5" wide, 13/4"
high, 51/2"
deep, easily fitting into the limited space at your vessels nav
station. The PTC-IIIusb connects directly to your computer's USB port, provides
computer-controlled frequency selection when used with the
Airmail program, and GPS data can easily be fed into the modem through a
connector on the modem's back panel.

offers a net throughput of 5200 bps (with an optional P-III
license), connects directly to a computer's USB port, and

The
PTC-IIPro design meets the needs of digitally-oriented
high-tech Amateur Radio Operators. With the ability to add up to
two 2330 Packet DSP modules the PTC-IIPro in effect becomes
three modems in one box; an HF Pactor modem, and two VHF Packet
modems. With at least one 2330 installed and
simultaneously connected to both a HF and VHF transceiver the
PTC-IIPro can be used as a VHF Packet to HF Packet/Pactor
Gateway station. It has a RS-232/serial computer interface
(requires a third-party USB/Serial adaptor), and and provides
computer-controlled frequency selection. |

The
PTC-IIex
provides the same Pactor-II/III performance as the PTC-IIPro and
PTC-IIusb. It has a RS-232/serial computer interface (requires a
third-party USB/Serial adaptor), and is not capable of providing
computer-controlled frequency selection. |
Not pictured in
the line-up are the older PTC, PTC-Plus, PTC-II (predecessor to
the PTC-IIPro), and PTC-IIe (predecessor to the PTC-IIex). |
