AE4TM has posted a graph based on real world results using groundwave at
various distances.
It shows PI starts its dropoff at 10db S/N. It is a gradual dropoff to about a
S/N of -5db to 0db. Somewhere in that range things go down very steeply.
PII maintains its throughput from +30db S/N all th
Hola, Jose,
I know exactly what graph you speak of but it is not on their web site
any longer and I could not find it anywhere else.
When I wrote my initial message I was going to put the claim that SCS
had some years ago about how deep into the noise the Pactor modes can
go. But I could not

Again, remember that the PK232 can only support Pactor 1, which is not
in wide use. Pactor 2 and above are what is used mos

Thanks Roger, that is what I was won
My first 2 Pk-232 did not have pactor but the
3rd unit Release 01.DEC.1983 Ver. 07 has Pactor.
I did see one on ebay for just 75 bucks.

The cheapest way is HFTERM, a soundcard program for Linux.
(Linux is free).
That will give you PACTOR 1 capability for $0.00, and you can join the ranks of
the other broadbanders (HFTERM can not decode PSK or other 'nice' modes, so
they just butt in regardless

I used to operate Amtor, Pactor I (and Clover II) a decade or two ago,
when we had the old Aplink and later Winlink systems. But at the time I
did not have a good idea of how deep into the noise these modes could
work. Is it possible for some of you folks who have Pactor (II and III

Cheapest foray in to Pactor?
IF I was to try to become QRV on Pactor (transmit capability), what
is the cheapest way to get going. I have an old Pk232 that I could
upgrade for $130 or so, any cheaper alternatives?
