The DSP Multimode PACTOR-Controller SCS PTC-II pro is a high-quality boat part and accessory designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom.

The SCS PTC-II pro is a high-performance Digital Signal Processing (DSP) multimode PACTOR-controller modem used by amateur radio operators (HAM) and mariners for data communication via HF/VHF radio. It acts as a Terminal Node Controller (TNC), enabling robust, fast email and data transfers, particularly for Winlink, even in poor signal conditions.
Key Aspects of the SCS PTC-II pro:

The SCS PTC-II Pro is a versatile HF PACTOR modem that supports PACTOR-I, II, and III, along with PSK31 and RTTY.

Supports PACTOR-I, PACTOR-II, and PACTOR-III (with license), as well as AMTOR and Packet radio. (Please note: No guarantee that this unit has the PACTOR-III Licence installed)

Functionality: Processes radio audio, manages PTT (Push-to-Talk), and connects to a PC for file transfers, often used with software like AirMail or Winlink Express. While it natively supports PACTOR-I and II, a PACTOR-3 licence is required to unlock higher-speed PACTOR-III functionality, which is often used with Winlink. Licenses are installed via firmware updates, often purchased through distributors like Farallon Electronics

Hardware: Features a Motorola MC68360 32-bit CPU and a 100 MHz DSP for signal processing.

Usage Scenarios: Popular for maritime mobile communication, remote locations, and emergency, disaster relief radio.
