Karl, I own a ptc-II and would not trade it for the world. Data
transfer is twice as fast as any pactor 1 device. It hears and
copies perfectly when I can not even hear the signal. I had to
have my arms twisted pretty hard to spend the money, but let me tell
you it was not a mistake.
It is a fantastic device and works better than anyone can possibly
tell you. NO, I am not on the staff of SCS ;-)))))

| Hi Deni, well the pactor II seems not too popular yet. I have
talked with

but it

My guess

there...:-)
