SafecomLink and German radio-equipment retailer WiMo have announced SafecomLink for Pactor – Hamradio Edition, a software client intended to pair an SCS PACTOR modem with a standard HF transceiver. The announcement says the edition is available through WiMo now, either bundled with an SCS DR-9400 modem or as a standalone two-year or lifetime license.
According to the partners, the application provides one interface for the modem’s native features and is aimed at long-distance digital messaging and file transfer. They also describe an internet email gateway and information-access features. The release was developed with WiMo and Special Communications Systems (SCS), whose modems implement the PACTOR family of HF data protocols.
For an Arkansas Valley operator, this is a commercial addition to the HF digital-data toolbox rather than a replacement for established amateur messaging systems. PACTOR operation still depends on compatible equipment, station setup and the applicable amateur-service rules. The announcement does not specify U.S. pricing or identify a U.S. dealer, so prospective users should confirm availability, licensing terms, modem compatibility and on-air operating requirements before committing to the platform.
The news is notable because it pairs a new application with current PACTOR modem hardware in a supported package, rather than announcing another accessory or sale. Amateur Radio Daily published the release September 9, citing SafecomLink and linking to the WiMo product listing.
