SCS Pactor Modems


White Squall Consulting Inc. is proud to be an authorized dealer for SCS (Special Communications Systems) Pactor Modems through their North American Distributor, Farallon Electronics.

 
   

PTC-IIpro

 

 

The ultimate HF modem! Fast, full featured and upgradable to PACTOR-III. Send email, transfer files, establish real-time data links. The PTC-IIpro 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-IIpro will maintain links in conditions with signal to noise ratios of minus 18 dB, transferring data with absolutely inaudible signals.

The PTC-IIpro comes standard with 2 MB of RAM for incoming data storage, integrated RS-232 and TTL interface for control of common radios and a temperature compensated crystal oscillator for stability. The PTC-IIpro incorporates an audio amplifier for output to a speaker or headphones, which allows the PTC-IIpro's powerful DSP to be used with any audio signal. Built-in ability for GPS position reporting. With the optional Packet-Radio modules, the PTC-IIpro will function as a VHF/UHF modem (up to 19200 baud) and act as a bidirectional gateway for data between HF and VHF/UHF radios.

Our Basic PTC-IIpro modem kit contains the following:

1 -    PTC-IIpro SCS Pactor Modem

1 -    SCS PTC-IIpro Modem to Radio Cable (A special cable constructed by us to connect the

        Pactor modem to your specific radio transceiver.)

1 -    RS232 Cable from Modem to PC.

6 -    Fair-Rite Brand 1/4" Type 31 cilp-on RF Chokes.

1 -    CD with all of the latest software required for Winlink 2000, Sailmail and Weather FAX.

1 Hour of Free Consultation.

PTC-IIex

The small companion of the PTC-IIpro.  Small in size, but not in performance! 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.

Powered by a powerful Motorola CPU and DSP (Digital Signal Processor), the PTC-IIex stands out as superior technology for HF radio data transfers.  Packet-Radio operation for VHF and UHF up to 19200 baud is built into the PTC-IIex with no additional hardware to add.

Our Basic PTC-IIex modem kit contains the following:

1 -    PTC-IIex SCS Pactor Modem,

1 -    PC to Modem Serial Data Cable,

1 -    Modem to Radio Data Cable (custom data cable constructed by us to connect the

         modem to your specific radio transceiver.),

1 -    PC to Radio Frequency Control Cable (custom data cable constructed by us to connect the

         PC to your specific radio transceiver.),

6 -    Fair-Rite Brand 1/4" Type 31 cilp-on RF Chokes,

1 -    CD with all of the latest software required for Winlink 2000, Sailmail and Weather FAX,

The SCS Tracker / DSP TNC

Tracker / DSP TNC

 

 

 

 

The SCS Tracker / DSP TNC is worldwide the first Terminal Node Controller using a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) as protocol and as modem processor. The close relationship between the hardware level and the higher protocol levels opens the possibility for unique applications.

The highlights of the modem implementations in the SCS Tracker / DSP TNC:

Generally very reliable and flicker free DCD achieved with special DCD algorithms on the signal processor.

Newly developed multi-detector for 300 Bd AFSK. The signal processor automatically processes a frequency range of ±400 Hz looking for 300 Bd transmissions and receives all detected signals in parallel. Exact tuning by the user is not necessary any more as a perfect tuning on the receiver side is always achieved automatically.

Special transmit- and receive filters for 1200 Bd AFSK, to avoid adjacent channel interference and degradations by AC hum.

Adaptive DC-removal by the signal processor at 9600 und 19200 Bd Direct-FSK.

The Tracker / DSP TNC comes standard with a temperature compensated crystal oscillator for stability. Built-in ability for GPS position reporting. Packet-Radio operation for VHF and UHF up to 19200 baud.

Easily installed with compatible radios from Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, SGC, SEA, Furuno, R&S and others.

The SCS PTC-IInet

PTC-IInet

 

 

 

  •     HF-Internet Gateway

  •     PACTOR-II & PACTOR-III

  •     Compact unit

  •     Low power consumption

PTC-IInet

 

 

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.

Compatible Radios

Both the PTC-IIpro and PTC-IIex Modems offer simple installation with compatible radios from Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, SGC, SEA, Furuno, R&S and others. 

We recommend Icom radios as they are by far the easiest to interface with SCS Pactor Modems.

 Use the PTC-IIex with commercial stations WLO, SailMail, MarineNet and others world wide, as well as the international network of amateur radio opertators (MBOs) that support PACTOR modes.

PTC-II and PTC-IIe Modems

The original PTC-II multiport modem and the PTC-IIe modem have been discontinued and replaced with the PTC-IIpro, PTC-IIusb and PTC-IIex.
