I use Airmail and RMS Express and both work as they should in Pactor 1-4 mode. RMS Express version is 1.1.3.0. Controller is a SCS DR-7800 P4 Dragon
I recommend to use DATA Mode in the K3 for Pactor. DATA Mode should be set to DATA A, USB. You should set RMS Express to use DATA USB. You should enable SYNC DT in the K3 Main Menu. (a function key has to be set) Use Line in/out to connect the transceiver to the modem. Use PSKA and FSKA settings around 800-1000 mV. Adjust LINE IN Gain until you see ALC 3-4 bars flickering when you transmit. Mic SEL must be set to LINE IN. The dial frequency on the K3 will be set to Center - 1.5 khz. If you use the predefined frequency tables in RMS Express, you will have the correct frequency set (RX and TX will be the same frequency and mode) - unless you activate split or RIT/XIT what you should not do of course. I have successfully worked with many stations since a long time with these settings. I do not believe that there is a problem with RMS Express in the current version in this respect. (there are problems, but different from the reported here) The K3 is an excellent transceiver for Pactor. It is the best I ever had :-) 73!
