Any luck finding a QSO yet Bob?
Take a look at http://www.hamspots.net under the Pactor
tab for pactor operations. Many world wide are on there.
Just last evening (sunday) about 2240Z had a QSO with
PY4OLB, Otavio on 14,111CF.
Does anyone know of Pactor 1 frequencies that are often used. I wish to
practice tuning using a PK 232.
tnx and 73 Bob

Pactor II and Pactor III are only available on the SCS line of

Just be careful, the earliest SCS modems didn't have Pactor II or III either.

Hi Andy,
MultiPSK does the broadcast or FEC mode of Pactor-1 only. Just like
Amtor, Pactor had a broadcast mode too - quite good incidentally.
What I am wanting to test is Pactor-1 ARQ (or Amtor ARQ Mode A)

Of late I have been having my ALE contacts with ZL1BAD destroyed by

He comes on, obviously without listening to see if the channel is clear.
Is 14109.5 a recognized frequency for BBS pactor operation? If so then
that frequency should be removed

I just read the Pactor 3 specification. I am not sure that it is OFDM. It is
multi-tone but the spacing of the tones seems wider than OFDM requires.
But I may be missing something in the technical definition OFDM of that
differentiates it from MT.
