Technical Data
The PTC-IIusb allows direct connection to a USB interface of any modern notebook. As a speciality the PTC-IIusb is equipped with a transceiver control port, which allows automatic remote control of the connected radio via software.
The Hardware
• Fully compatible to existing software by using a virtual COM port assigned by the USB driver. • One single connector to the HF/VHF transceiver for all modes. • Transceiver control for ICOM, YAESU, SGC, KENWOOD and Rohde&Schwarz, including RS232 for modern transceivers. • Supported by Airmail/GetFax. • Special JVCOMM32-Mode for optimum cooperation with JVCOMM32. • Packet-Radio with 300, R600, 1200, 9600 and 19200 baud with built-in DSP. • With two high performance processors from Freescale, the PTC-IIusb achieves outstanding flexibility. • Sophisticated signal processing and analyzing maintains a stable HF link even during difficult propagation conditions. • Temperature compensated crystal oscillator. • Tuning bar display with 15 dual color LED lamps. • 2 MB of static RAM. • Electronic (silicon) serial number. • Noise free HF reception by use of HF suitable construction, 6 layer multilayer board and filtering of all inputs and outputs. • Compact SMD assembly. • Flash-ROM for easy firmware updates. • Dimensions: 172 W x 43 H x 205 D mm, 1.69 H x 6.77 W x 8.07 D inches. • Weight: 740 g • Power Supply: +10 to +20 V DC, 300 mA max. Reverse polarity protected. • Fuse self resetting. PACTOR®-II • Max. 1200 Bit/s, incl. data compression. • Automatic adaption to the channel quality in 4 speed levels. • Bandwidth 500 Hz. • Use of the most modern transfer mode technology: convolutional coding, Viterbi-decoder, soft-decision and Memory ARQ allows error free data transfers even with inaudible signals. • Automatic frequency correction of ± 80 Hz. • Automatic adaption of the radio’s transmit power to the channel quality is possible.
PACTOR®-III*
Like PACTOR®-II, but: • max. 5200 Bit/s, incl. data compression. • Automatic adaption to the channel quality in 6 speed levels. • Bandwidth 2400 Hz.
Robust HF-Packet
• Newly developed very robust modulation for HF-Packet-Radio and APRS. • Max. 600 Bit/s. • Automatic frequency correction of ± 250 Hz.
APRS
• Fully automatic APRS-Beacon
Includes installation manual, CD-ROM, cables and power plug.
*PACTOR®-III – pre-installed.
