Pactor III is a proprietary protocol developed by SCS for the commercial market and is, I believe, patented, so developing a soundcard program to decode it would land one in legal hot water. So, short answer: No, there are no soundcard modems for Pactor III. George, KA3HSW ----- Original Message ----

Developing one for personal use as an individual or between friends without commercial gain would be ok!
