I'll be honest here, I don't know if Pactor starts in mode P1 or P2 or maybe either. I do know it doesn't connect in P3. It connects in one of the slower modes and then expands to P3 if the signal is sufficient. This means every pactor connection, where P3 is available, does this and is one of the reasons for its high interference potential and unpopularity with other users.
