SCS model numbers and pactor modes are confusing. Current modems in production are the PTC-IIIusb and the P4dragon, and are recommended. Any previous PTC-II, IIe, IIex, IIpro, or IIusb modem can be licensed to use the Pactor-III protocol for a fee (paid to an SCS dealer or to SCS, not to SailMail) but can’t be used for P4. Pactor-III transfers data 3-4x faster than Pactor-II with good signals, and is slightly faster than Pactor-II even with weak signals. P4 is somewhat faster still, particularly with strong signals. We strongly encourage all members to use at least Pactor-III. SailMail’s stations are all capable of all modes including Pactor-4. We expect that PTC-II-family modems (licensed to use Pactor-III) will continue to be used by most SailMail members because of the significantly lower cost. But for those with greater communications needs, Pactor-4 offers a way to increase capacity. Pactor-III mode was developed after the PTC-II and PTC-IIe were introduced, and was an “option”– part of the newer firmware-updates but had to be “unlocked” with a purchased license-code. For later modems this Pactor-III license-code was keyed to the modem’s electronic serial# (ESN) and was transferable with the modem. For earlier modems, all PTC-II’s and early production PTC-IIe units, without an ESN, the original policy was for SCS to issue a license code that was keyed to the user’s callsign. This license-codes are not transferable to a new owner and are no longer available. If you have a PTC-II or early PTC-IIe that does not have an ESN (i.e. no barcode sticker on the bottom), it may be possible to have the modem retrofit with a hardware ESN. contact Gary at Farallon Electronics to find out. If it is possible, the ESN retrofit and P3 license will cost around $350.
Leave the modem selection in AirMail set to your modem model number. If your modem has indeed been upgraded to Pactor-III mode then Airmail will detect that, and use it.
The best way to find out the Pactor-III status is to connect the modem to the computer (no radio needed), open Airmail and open terminal window, and wait a few seconds for the modem to initialize. The initialization string will show the modem serial# is there is one, and the Pactor-III license status.
SCS Pactor Modem Guide
Model numbers are shown on the front panel, e.g. PTC-IIe or PTC-IIpro. The original PTC-II was an all-metal box, the later modems have gray plastic bezels around the front-panel. (Current SCS modems– DR-7400/7800 and PTC-IIIusb) have black plastic bezels). The early modems were all PTC-II models of various sorts which may or may not have been upgraded to enable Pactor-3 mode. No PTC-II or PTC-III modem of any type can be ungraded to run P4. All SailMail stations support Pactor-II, Pactor-III, or P4.
Airmail beta. From oldest to newest (see below for explanations of terms):
PTC-II (no suffix, original all-metal box): Serial, TTL radio control, P2, No ESN. PTC-IIe: Serial, No radio control. Early PTC-IIe’s have no ESN (no bar-code label on bottom), P2 later PTC-IIe have ESN (same as PTC-IIex), P2/P3* PTC-IIex: Serial, No radio control, ESN, P2/P3* PTC-IIpro: Serial, full radio control, ESN, P2/P3* PTC-IIusb: USB, full radio control, ESN, P2/P3*
The current modems (PTC-IIIusb, DR-7400, DR-7800) are all USB. The PTC-IIIusb supports Pactor-II and Pactor-III. The DR-7400 and DR, support Pactor-III and P4.(no license-code needed), Again, all SailMail stations support P-II, P-III, and P4.
Explanations:
Serial: 9-pin serial computer interface, generally requires a USB/serial adaptor (we currently recommend any of the devices with a FTDI chip set, e.g. search Amazon for “FTDI RS232”
“TTL radio control” is the original 8-pin “control” connector, TTL (0-5 volt) radio frequency-control only, compatible with M700pro, M710 (not M802).
Airmail App
“Full radio control” is 13-pin “control connector”, either 0-5v or RS232 levels, compatible with pretty much any recent radio to set frequency.
ESN: Electronic serial #, stored internally and also on a paper bar-code label on the bottom of the modem. It is used as the “key” to an optional Pactor-3 license (unlock-code). Early modems without ESN can be upgraded to add the ESN chip, only a few have been.
P3*: Units with an ESN *may* have been upgraded to P3 with a license code, most were. These license-codes are transferable to a new owner. The code itself will be stored in the modem (unless somehow erased), and can be checked or retrieved from SCS via email ([email protected]).
A modem with ESN, but which was never upgraded to P3, can be upgraded with the purchase of a license-code, cost is around $200 (contact Gary at Farallon Electronics in Calif, [email protected]).
Exceptions: Early, non-ESN modems could originally be used in P3 with a different code that was keyed to the user’s callsign. These codes are NOT transferable, and no new callsign-codes are being issued by SCS. It *may* be possible to upgrade these modems first with the addition of a ESN chip, then by purchasing the P3 license code, cost for all that will be around $350– contact Gary at Farallon. If buying a non-ESN modem (PTC-II, early PTC-IIe) it is important to determine whether it has the ESN upgrade chip. For PTC-IIe, check for the bar-code label. Without the ESN the modem can only be used in P2 mode, works just slower. Upgrading to ESN (and P3) is expensive, check with Farallon and consider that in the price.
ESN modems may or may not have been upgraded to P3. If so, the license code *should* be stored in the modem: Connect to a computer, start Airmail and configure modem-type and com-port correctly, open terminal window and confirm that it initializes. The initialization message will show 13-digit ESN and Pactor-3 license status.
Alternately open a terminal program (Hyperterm or Airmail’s dumb-terminal window), hit ESC to get a “cmd” prompt, type the “LICENSE” command to see the license-code (if stored). The command “SYS SERN” will show the serial#.
The download version of AirMail is packaged as a self- extracting “Zip” file, which is available by following the links from the Download Page on this website. If you already have a previous version of AirMail installed, when you run the download file it will upgrade your previous version of AirMail, and will preserve your settings and address book.

Start AirMail and answer the initial questions, providing your marine callsign which should look something like “WXY1234”.
Once the AirMail software in installed, if your computer has access to the internet, you can go ahead and try connecting to SailMail via the internet. In the Message Index Window, click the “Internet” button, which looks like a lightning bolt. Then click the “connect” button, which looks like a green ball. You system will send and receive any messages just as if you were connected via radio.
Next do the rest of the radio-related installation…
Before doing anything else, go to Tools/Options on the menu and check the settings. Most of the settings described below should be preset for you in the initial settings of AirMail, but you will need to at least enter your Pactor-modem type.
On the connection page in the Modem Connection section, select the appropriate Modem type and make sure that the Comm Port is correct. In the Radio Connection section select the appropriate option for the remote control of your radio. In the Audio Tones section the Center Frequency should be “1500” and a dot should be next to USB. Use the radio in USB/J3E (normal voice SSB) mode. Leave the Amplitudes set to their default for now. If you are not sure what you are doing, or how your radio should be set up and connected for remote control, then get help from your marine radio dealer (and pay him or her for the time). Leave the settings under the Advanced button as they are.

On the settings page you should see your marine callsign under the SailMail tab. Enter your SailMail Password in the “System Password” box. Omniplan pro 3 9 3 – robust project management software. SailMail Passwords ARE case sensitive, so enter it carefully. Leave the settings under the Advanced button as they are.
Airmail 4 Beta
Don’t make any changes to the folders page or routing page. AirMail will create a set of message folders when it starts, for incoming and outgoing messages, and a “saved” folder. It is recommended to use the defaults.
Airmail 4 User Guide
Click the OK button (not cancel) to close the Options Window and save the settings.
Now open the Terminal Window (click the right-most “Terminal Window” button which looks like a blue globe). Watch the upper screen – after 2-3 seconds it should show a list of setup commands in red – these are the “Link Messages” that you elected to show in the Tools/Options/Connection Window. If all that worked then you should be ready to connect. If that didn’t work, your laptop and Pactor-modem are not talking to one another and you need to re-initialize your Pactor-modem, fix your cable, and/or sort out your COM port, BEFORE proceed with these instructions.
In the Terminal Window in AirMail, you will notice two or three pull down menu’s, the third from the right (if you have it) should remain set to SAILMAIL and the second from the right should be set to the SailMail station that you want to connect to. The right window selects the frequency.
Assuming that you have connected your radio for remote-control, the frequency selection in the right menu will adjust the frequency on your radio.
