Sailmail and PACTOR

If you've been reading the UDXF logs for any length of time, you will have seen the name 'Sailmail' - an email service for yachts. They usually use one of the many variants of PACTOR (1 through 4), and while there are packages that can copy this mode, I would imagine that the email contents are encrypted...



Anyway, this website lists all the stations, callsigns and frequencies - handy if you happen to tune this and wonder what it is...

Now what software can copy PACTOR? Good question...

• go2decode (many variants)


• go2monitor (many variants)


• Hoka Code 3-32P (Pactor 1 and 2)


• Hoka Code 300-32(P) (many variants, some by special order)


• Krypto500 (several variants)


• MixW (Amateur Radio Service versions of Pactor 1 and 2)


• MultiPSK (Pactor 1 only)


• Sorcerer


• Wavecom W-Code (several variants)

With the exception of go2decode and go2monitor, all the other packages are listed in the website of my sig. Here are those 2...
