But they did not get it working like the enventors did - problems with memory ARQ, the throughput was less than in the original. I think there are soundcard programs around that do Pactor 1. For my taste it is less than we want to have in performance. I built the TRX-PTC into my K2 (still low power version) and I am very satisfied with it. I was testing it /mm in Panama, Venezuela and Columbia, and in Crete and it worked very well. (using Airmail & Winlink 2000 and connecting my mailbox at home in OE9). http://www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/bilder/trxptc_innen_fertig.jpg you see: K2IO-board - bluetooth board - relais board (switch to Ptc-2 or ext. modem) TRX-PTC board - EA3BLQ digital board speaker For the use in our emergency service we rely on SCS modems, the price may be high but the performance and reliability makes it worth. 73!
