I have lost track of time but about 10 years ago I met G4APL on AMTOR. I was using an MFJ-1278 TNC at the time and he convinced me to spend a huge sum of money on a Pactor modem. After much thought and shopping around I purchased an SCS-PTCII-Pro from a Sailing Business in Canada. Here the model with Pactor 3 license for the best price I could find at the time.
Now the bands are picking up, Paul and I are able to resume our Pactor QSO's almost every night.
