I was trying to suggest that they could arrive at the PC with a DSP from the other direction. Have a DSP and add the computer.
If they went under, then the Pactor patents would be sold. They could even find there way into the public domain. But I doubt it. They seem to be doing pretty well. I was looking at the PCTIINet. Looks interesting. I have an SCS-PTCIIpro with 2 DSP Packet modules and a Pactor license. It is one nice box. Remember, the SCS line is a commercial modem built for commercial use. If you want something that good, it costs. I have Yaesu and Vertex in my shack. Which is the more professional radio? The commercial Vertex.

The only real issue with SCS is that it's a single source product. If, heaven forbid, things went bad for the company - what happens then? 73 Bill Need a Digital mode QSO?
