Press Release

PacTerm/SC and PkTerm/SC to support domestic interfaces only

Soundcard only version will support Timewave, MFJ, West Mountain Radio, and Tigertronics interfaces.

Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  April 5, 2004:  W4PCSoftware announced that the soundcard only version 3.0 of PacTerm/SC for Windows and PkTerm/SC for Windows will only include support for domestic soundcard interfaces. This includes the Timewave Hamhub, the MFJ 127X interfaces, the Rigblaster line and the Signalink products.

Company President Rick Ruhl, W4PC, said "With all the outsourcing going on in American business today and the loss of those jobs, someone has to take a position to support 'Made in the USA' products. Too much software and hardware is outsourced today, and hams should be the first to support domestic companies in their efforts to provide good products at a fair price".

Version 3.0 not only includes new soundcard modes, but also an integrated logging program to keep track of QSO's, DXCC

and even do light contesting. It will support exporting to ADIF for use with the ARRL Logbook of the World and to

other logging programs, provide radio and rotor control, and be able to sync with Packet Clusters that are connected by the Packet window.

A new user interface has been designed that keeps all windows in one main frame window. HF modes still can be accessed with a click of a mouse, but now the window has the addition of using a drop down menu to choose the soundcard modes.

Anyone can purchase release 1.7 today and receive a free upgrade to version 3.0. PacTerm and PkTerm for Windows release 1.7 is $79.95 and the upgrade from version 1.4 or earlier is $29.95. The retail price for Version 3.0 will be $99.95 and upgrades from version 1.4 or earlier will be $59.95
