Perfect for portable use. Send email, transfer files, establish real-time data links. The PTC-IIex modem is an affordable data interface between your PC and radio equipment. The PTC-IIex comes with robust PACTOR-I and PACTOR-II digital modes built in.

The PTC-IIex will maintain links in conditions with signal to noise ratios of minus 18 dB. This means data transfer with absolutely inaudible signals. The PTC-IIex is less expensive than it's full featured brother, the PTC-IIpro, without sacrificing performance.

The PTC-IIusb modem is the multi mode data interface between your PC and radio equipment. The PACTOR-II mode is the industry standard, and the most robust digital mode available for radio data connections. The PTC-IIusb will maintain links in conditions with signal to noise ratios of minus 18 dB, transferring data with absolutely inaudible signals.

HF/SSB Premiere Radio Modem

• New, more powerful 24 bit DSP running at 100 MHz with a computing power of 100 MIPS (max.)
• 2 MB static RAM.
• New high quality rugged case.
• Built-in audio amplifier. Simply connect your favorite speaker and use the PTC-IIpro as audio de-nosier. The volume is controlled by software!
• Highly stable temperature-compensated oscillator. Makes your PACTOR-II/III connection even more stable!
• New transceiver control port supports transceiver with TTL and V24 interface out of the box!
• Silicon serial number. To easily identify your unit in case of theft!.
• Reduced power consumption! Only 200 mA at 13.8 Volt.
• Software controlled power off function. The new OFF command turns the unit off. Any character sent to the PTC-IIpro over the serial interface will switch it on again.

Create your own e-mail shore station and provide HF e-mail services to your association or the public in general using a Pactor II net.   The PTC IInet is plug and play device which allows station operators to hook up an HF radio directly to the internet to offer e-mail and weather services. 

The PTC-IInet is a neat combination of a PACTOR modem (with transceiver control) and a Linux-PC, where both find their place together in a PTC-IIpro sized case. The PTC-IInet has a network connection (Ethernet 10/100) and can with this directly be connected to a router. If that router is connected to the Internet (e.g. via DSL- or cable-modem) then the PTC-IInet is also "online" this way.

When the PTC-IInet receives a connect from the outside, it serves as a gateway to the Internet for that distant station. This function is called PACTOR-IP-Bridge (PIB) and works similar to WLAN, but with the advantage of a very large range of coverage and the disadvantage of narrow bandwidth. The PTC-IInet is by default delivered with PACTOR-III. Configuration is done via a comfortable web interface.

The web interface also supports automatic updates of the firmware and Linux kernel via the Internet. With a simple click, the PTC-IInet connects to the SCS Internet server, looks for updates and installs them automatically, if available.

Quite often one doesn’t need a PACTOR Multicontroller with all its features and costs, for example if only position or weather data, beacon signals or other repeating informations have to be transmitted via HF/VHF.  SCS has understood this need and developed under the motto “small, efficient and reliable” an inexpensive addition to the SCS appliance family.

Base of the TNC forms the AX.25 protocoll, equipped with the, from SCS developed, “Robust Packet Radio” (RPR) modulation for HF. As a result the tracker is a complete TNC, with full APRS ability, interfaces for a switch to the TRX and NMEA GPS data. The tracker communicates via optical separated USB interface with the PC, is almost QRM free and equipped with a sleep mode for the APRS functionality.
