If you go back to the DCC presentation of KN6KB of a few years back on his new software modem...he measured the robustness of Pactor, MT63 and several other modes and Pactor wasn't that much more robust than MT63 at a -5 dB SNR. If I invested a $K Buck or so in Pactor III and WinLink, I'd claim it was the best thing since sliced bread...woudln't you? 73, Wa;t/K5YFW
