A standard fax machine is directly connected with the radio via the PACTOR G3 Bridge and sends and receives faxes via shortwave.

It's possible with PACTOR. The new PACTOR G3 Bridge enables you to send your faxes via high frequency. The new development from HinzTec doesn't need a computer. You just connect a standard fax machine via a normal telephone cable with the PACTOR G3 Bridge, dial your number and get connected. On the other side, hundreds of kilometers away, without any telephone line, another PACTOR G3 Modem, connected to a shortwave radio, receives the fax and transmits the data to another fax machine, which prints the message as usual. The function is especially useful for business communication between distant locations. For example adventure holiday resorts, research and military stations as well as catastrophe and emergency services. Depending on propagation and content of the pages, that have to be transmitted, it takes between 3 and 8 minutes for an A4 page to go through. The quality of the transmission matches the one via a normal telephone line. In the same manner as the conventional fax traffic, the destination number has to be selected. The number is unequivocally and will be generated from the call sign. For an even faster operation you can also save the number in the memory of the fax.
