Sam, Pactor 3 (or at least Pactor2) seems to be widely accepted as the standard fast mode for radio email. The Winlink team is bringing out a new software modem that may effectively replace Pactor. It might be good to use a sound card interface (much less expensive) for a while and see how the new software works out. Many of us don´t like the way Pactor 3 takes over a frequency even if it is in use. Howard K5HB

Need to be compatible with Winlink2K. Pactor3 is apparently only available from SCS, and that is what the Winlink community is using. Just don't like the lack of competition.
