Since I dont use either Pactor or Amtor, I couldnt really recommend any
software for either, except I do know that MixW shows both a Pactor and
Amtor as well as 16 other modes. But, I believe those two are for receive
only. Someone on here may know otherwise and would ask them to chime in
here. The last time I used either was 10 or so years ago with a tnc, and
there were so few using them, I gave them up for Lent. As to RTTY, I still
enjoy it, but most folks have switched over to PSK on daily oprerations, It
certainly copies weak signals much better than RTTY, but RTTY contests still
are a popular gathering place.
I dont "need" software for CW either, but I do use it for certain times that
I want to send out an auto-CQ or during a contest when the computer can keep
track of "worked" stations, a whole lot better than I used to do so, with
paper. I no longer uses the memories in the rig for CW keying, but have
gone completely over to the software to do that At the end of the contest,
you push a button and VIOLA - you have the complete logs ready to send in,
and they are scored etc. Keeping an electronic log on a daily basis, is
certainly more accurate and faster than trying to keep up with paper logs,
etc. DXKeeper does not copy CW at all, but MixW and several others "try" to
do so, and in my estimation are almost useless for that purpose - unless the
other guy is using a computer to send, and there is no QRM or QRN - very
unlikely circumstances during a contest, and especially during a pile-up for
a new one. The only reason I ever used a computer to read cw is my own
keying, with a straight key or a Vibroplex. In that respect, you can really
tell how well you are using those to transmit. If the copy comes out 100
percent, you are doing very fine.
