The PTC-IIusb allows direct connection to a USB interface of the modern notebook, and thus expands the SCS equipment program. The PTC-IIusb is constructed using existing equipment technology and its application is to be found mainly in the connection of clients. As a speciality, the PTC-IIusb is equipped with a transceiver control port, which allows remote control of the connected radio via software.    

The Hardware

• Fully compatible to existing software by using a virtual COM port assigned by the USB driver.
• One single connector to the HF/VHF transceiver    for all modes.
• Transceiver control for ICOM, YAESU, SGC, KENWOOD and Rohde&Schwarz, including RS232 for modern transceivers.
• Supported by Airmail/GetFax.
• Special JVCOMM32-Mode for optimum cooperation with JVCOMM32.
• Packet-Radio with 300, R600, 1200, 9600 and 19200 baud with built-in DSP.
• With two high performance processors from Freescale, the PTC-IIusb achieves outstanding flexibility.
• Sophisticated signal processing and analyzing maintains a stable HF link even during difficult  propagation conditions.
• Temperature compensated crystal oscillator.
• Tuning bar display with 15 dual color LED lamps.
• 2 MB of static RAM.
• Electronic (silicon) serial number.
• Noise free HF reception by use of HF suitable construction, 6 layer multilayer board and filtering of all inputs and outputs.
• Compact SMD assembly.
• Flash-ROM for easy firmware updates.
• Dimensions: 172 W x 43 H x 205 D mm, 1.69 H x 6.77 W x 8.07 D inches.
