Special Communications Systems
Special Communications Systems (SCS) developed and manufactures the high quality RF Modems that use the popular Pactor 2 and 3 protocols.
These RF Modems are clearly the finest in the industry and are most popular with offshore cruising sailors. Send email, transfer files and establish real-time data links.
All SCS Pactor modem models will maintain links in conditions with signal to noise ratios of minus 18 dB, transferring data with absolutely inaudible signals. The PACTOR-II mode is the industry standard, and the most robust digital mode available for radio data connections.
PTC-IIpro: The ultimate HF modem! Fast, full featured and upgradable to PACTOR-III. Send email, transfer files and establish real-time data links. The PTC-IIpro modem is the multi mode data interface between your PC and radio equipment.
PTC-IIusb: The ultimate HF modem! Fast, full featured and upgradable to PACTOR-III. Send email, transfer files and establish real-time data links. The PTC-IIusb modem is the multi mode data interface between your PC and radio equipment.
PTC-IIex: The small companion of the PTC-IIpro is small in size, but not in performance, is upgradable to Pactor III and perfect for portable use. The PTC-IIex modem is an affordable data interface between your PC and radio equipment. The PTC-IIex is less expensive than its full featured brothers, the PTC-IIpro and PTC-IIusb, without sacrificing performance.
The SCS Tracker / DSP TNC: The SCS Tracker / DSP TNC is worldwide the first Terminal Node Controller using a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) as protocol and as modem processor. The close relationship between the hardware level and the higher protocol levels opens the possibility for unique applications.
The SCS PTC-IInet: The PTC-IInet is a neat combination of a PACTOR modem (with transceiver control) and a Linux-PC, where both find their place together in a PTC-IIpro sized case. The PTC-IInet has a network connection (Ethernet 10/100) and can with this directly be connected to a router. If that router is connected to the Internet (e.g. via DSL- or cable-modem) then the PTC-IInet is also "online" this way. The PTC-IInet is only available with the Pactor 3 protocol.
PACTOR III: is an optional high speed upgrade for nearly all PTC modems produced since 1995. PACTOR III enables data rates up to 4800 baud, operates on a 2.4 Khz channel and is 2 to 4 times faster than PACTOR II.
SCS Pactor “Plug and Play” Modem Kits
We specialize in providing “Plug and Play” kits for all models of SCS Pactor modems. These kits provide all of the custom cables and other accessories required to interface the modem to most makes and models of marine and amateur HF radio transceivers.
- 1 - SCS Pactor Modem of your choice,
- 1 - Modem to radio data cable c/w the radio connector that matches the make and model of your HF transceiver,
- 1 - PC to Modem cable. (USB to USA data cable for the PTC-IIusb and a serial data cable for the PTC-IIex and PTC-IIpro modems),
- 1 - Frequency Control Cable for PTC-IIpro and PTC-IIusb modems. This cable provides radio frequency control via the modem using Airmail PC software.
Note: The PTC-IIex modem does not provide frequency control from the modem, but frequency control can still easily be accomplished direct from the PC. - 6 - ¼” ‘FairRite’ brand Type 31 clip on RF (Radio Frequency) chokes. The PC to modem, modem to radio data and modem to radio frequency control cables should have a choke placed on each cable end. This choke will help to stop RF interference due to the close proximity and high power of your HF transceiver from interfering with the operation of your computer and modem,
- 1 - CD containing all of the latest software required for Sail Mail, Airmail and Weather FAX implementation. This CD also contains service manuals for most of the popular Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, SEA and SGC Marine and Amateur HF transceivers.
- All of our kits kits include 1 hour of free consultation for those clients wishing to do their own installation, or that live outside of our service area.
ICOM HF SSB Marine Radios
Today, Icom is regarded as one of the World's leading radio manufacturers. The extensive ranges of products are designed to the highest specifications and include base-station, mobile and handheld units covering many frequency bands. Icom has radios designed specifically for the Avionics, Amateur, Land Mobile, Marine, Receivers and FRS markets.

BHI Ltd Noise Cancellation Products for Radio and Voice Communications
How does it work?
Using the latest Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology the bhi range of noise elimination products, will remove unwanted background noise and interference to leave only the speech.
The DSP processes the signal and differentiates the noise from the speech. This unwanted noise and interference is then attenuated to leave only the speech.
The DSP technology is fully adaptive and no adjustments are necessary. The signal is constantly monitored, and the DSP automatically adapts to any changes in the signal conditions.

Pulse Tech Battery Maintenance Products
For over twelve years PulseTech has been helping individuals, companies, fleets and the military worldwide ensure maximum battery performance and dramatically reduce battery-related expenses.
Lab and field tests by individuals, companies and government agencies around the world have proven that our Pulse Technology® works. It is literally the most effective method available for ensuring lead-acid battery performance, increasing battery efficiency and reducing battery-related costs.
In 1995, PulseTech® applied our technology to a full line of innovative and unique products designed to make batteries stronger so they will work harder and last longer than ever before. Today, we offer over 60 products designed to help you reduce battery-related problems and costs.
To get an idea of exactly how important our technology is to the performance of all your vehicles, consider this: The main cause of vehicle failure is battery failure due to sulfation buildup on the battery plates. And Pulse Technology prevents sulfation buildup.
In most cases, your battery is still good. You just can't reach the energy inside. That means you have to buy another battery even though the one you have may still be usable. PulseTech products help prevent this problem -- once and for all.
