SCS PTC-IIusb Radio Modem HF / VHF / UHF HF/SSB PACTOR data with USB, GPS and Radio Control

SEND EMAIL, transfer files, real-time data links and weather information. The PTC-IIusb modem is a feature packed interface between your PC and radio equipment for sending data (such as email) over long distances. The PTC-IIusb supports the robust PACTOR I, II modes and is fully compatible with PACTOR III for performance up to 4800 baud. PACTOR digital modes will maintain data links in the most adverse conditions over distances of 6000 miles or more. The PTC-IIusb includes a NMEA/GPS interface for position and wind instument data for use in email and auto position reporting. RS-232 and TTL radio control comes standard enabling the PTC-IIusb to “remote control” nearly all radio models.

Powered by a 32 bit Motorola 68360 RISC CPU and 56303 DSP (digital signal processor), the PTC-IIusb is superior technology for HF radio data transfers. Builtin NMEA interface and operation for VHF/ UHF up to 19.2k baud rates with no additional hardware required.

back Simple installation with compatible radios from Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, SGC, Furuno, TenTec, Skanti and others. Use the PTC-IIusb with commercial stations WLO, SailMail, CruiseEmail, UUplus and
