Interface in Maintenance Release of PacTerm/PKTerm Amateur Radio Software
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Muscle Shoals, AL, July 7, 2008—Creative Services
Software, Inc. (CSS) today announced a maintenance release of the company’s
radio control software. Version 3.76.15 of both PacTerm™ (for Kantronics TNCs)

PKTerm Simplifies Multiple Call Sign Support in Packet Mail

operators can switch from their Ham Radio call sign to a MARS call sign. Mail
drop and automatic answer text changes automatically depending on the call sign
registration set activated on start-up.

Both PacTerm and PKTerm now include user interface modifications that
automatically bring up an HF window on startup and improve performance when
returning to terminal mode.

many times greater transceiver compatibility than other TNC software solutions.
