PTC-IIe

Here we will provide you with some information about this outstanding new product.
The very first samples of the PTC-IIe were introduced by Dr. Thomas Rink, the president and CEO of SCS, at the PACTOR forum at the Dayton hamvention.
The e in the PTC-IIe stands for economy. This means the PTC-IIe is a subset of the well-known SCS PTC-II.
It uses the same command set as the PTC-II and can be controlled with the same programs. It utilizes WA8DED-hostmode, extended and CRC-hostmode.
It should be stated clear that there is no difference in performance between the PTC-II and the PTC-IIe in any of the common modes. It shall be a lower cost solution for those who don´t need the multi-port, crossband and gateway capabilities of the PTC-II. The PTC-IIe also does not have transceiver-control and the alphanumeric mode-display.
Here are the key features of the PTC-IIe:
 

	PACTOR-II, PACTOR-I, AMTOR, NAVTEX, RTTY
	PSK31 With spectroscope display on the tuning display.
	SSTV All different kinds of SSTV. Useable with nearly all available software. Special JVComm32 mode!
	FAX Including AM-FAX for Meteosat.
	Audio denoiser/filter.
	CW-Terminal Neat DSP CW decoder!
	Packet-Radio 300, 1200 and 9600 baud using the built in DSP.
	Mark and space frequencies are freely programmable in 1 Hz steps.
	Output amplitude programmable im mV steps.
	The new OFF command turns the unit off by software. Any character sent to the PTC-IIe over the serial interface will switch it on again.
	The PTC-IIe uses the same high performance CPU/DSP system as the PTC-II.
	Single port unit. The PTC-IIe has only one transceiver port!
	Fixed RAM size of 512 k byte.
	Fixed FLASH ROM size of 256 k byte.
	Small size of only 125 x 43 x 183 mm.
	Optimal for portable operation. Only 200 mA at 13.8 V.
