Hi Jose, Happy New Year to you and your family. As for the early KAMs you are right, but after a while they brought out new firmware and they fixed the problem. I have an early KAM with a special addon PCB so that it can take PACTOR 1 modeand I followed all the firmware upgrades up to 8.1 I think. It is now in the basement somewhere so it is not handy for me to check. But as I said before it was always a lousy PACTOR controller (probably it had a bad modem design because even in HF packet it performed badly. So in the end I had to buy an SCS Controller because as you know it is superior in PACTOR and in PACKET RADIO. 73 de Demetre SV1UY P.S. What happened with this petition that was attempting to bring digital modes into the 19th century? Does anyone knows
