Barry,
Thanks for the reply.How would you compare the throughput of Pactor vs
Winmor. I know on paper Pactor iii is quite a bit faster, but since you have
experience
with both of them, I was wondering what you observations in real life were in
terms of ability to work in bad conditions and actual throughput.What were
your
reasons for buying the Pactor modem? Do you think the cost is worth it
compared to what you can get for free (Winmor)?
Thanks,
Carlton

Carlton,
I have an SCS PTC II which I have used for WinLink using another rig other
than my KX3. I run about 15 Watts when I do that. I have been quite successful
connecting to WinLink stations using both pactor I and II.
I also have a SignaLink USB. I went ahead and ordered the cable to go with
my KX3. In this mode, I run winmor for Winlink connection. However, I only run
3-4 Watts. I live in Annapolis, Md, and I usually connect with a station in
Florida or Canada. The trick is to pick the correct frequency for the time of
day. The other thing is to know whether it is better to connect to a station
nearby or 1200 miles away. As I have only one station nearby, ~120 miles, I
usually use the Florida station, ~ 1000 miles, on 20m meters in the afternoon.
The most important thing is to know/learn what your equipment will do and
develope a little practice.
73,

If you have, what kind of success did you have working with it at 10 watts?
What kind (if any) of audio circuit did you use to interface the audio
to/from the rig.straight cables or something with some kind of
filtering/matching?
Thanks,
Carlton
