Why Choose the Pactor 4 DR-7400 modem?

The DR-7400 pactor 4 modem is now the preferred choice for email and weather data processing  via your HF radio whilst at sea.

Pactor 4 facilitates max net data speed throughput of 10500 bps which is 1.5 - 3  times faster than pactor 3 technology.

The unit has been optimized for use with the new high-end data transmission mode PACTOR-4 which provides the fastest and most robust data transmission via HF radio. Enjoy the convenience of email from virtually any point on earth.The DR-7400 is software compatible to the PTC-II series so that existing PACTOR software (AirMail, RMS Express, Alpha etc) can continued to be used. Of course, the DR-7400 also provides radio frequency switching through your email client software, a GPS input, optional Bluetooth interface and free firmware updates.

The DR-7400 is also backwards compatible with pactor 2 and pactor 3 modems so you can continue to utilise existing Airmail and Winlink radio email data networks even if the receiving modem is of a lower technological standard.

What is included in your Pactor 4 DR-7400 package?

 Kit contains everything you need to plug and play with an Icom HF SSB radio: DR-7400 Pactor 4 USB modem with bluetooth module, interconnecting cables, 6  FairRite snap-on RF chokes (for each end of the USB, Interconnecting, & Frequency Control cables), Airmail Program CD, & a copy of the Sailors' Quick-Start Guide to Sailmail/AirMail/WL2K, Quick Start Installation Guide (will have you sending and receiving your first email within minutes)

Note: when comparing prices with other dealers make sure they have included the bluetooth module and are selling you a Pactor 4 modem. Bluetooth functionality is not only convenient and tidier but less cabling minimises the chance of radio frequency interference to your pactor modem.

Utilises AirMail Freeware for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10

It is recommended that the DR-7400 be used with HF radios that have remote frequency control capability (this includes all modern Icoms such as the M710, M802, M801e, Icom 78, Icom 718, Icom 706mk2g etc).

This system allows AirMail 3 to control both the modem & radio frequency selection using a single USB Port or BLUETOOTH on the associated computer.

Each System includes AirMail-3 for SailMail and Winlink, GetFax, Viewfax and ViewGrib on CD. The package also includes the following:

1 Pactor 4 DR-7400 USB & Blue Tooth accessed Pactor-4 Modem

1 PTC/TRX 1.5m cable, Audio to (for Icom model radios only)

1 PTC/Freq 1.5m cable, Freq. to (for Icom model radios only)

1 Ferrites - set 6 clip-on cable ferrite filters

1 set-up and operations manual on CD

1 standard 1.5M long USB cable

1 68-page Sailors' Quick-Start Guide to SailMail / Airmail / Winlink 2000

Note: Annual SailMail Membership is payable to the USA at a current cost of US$250 at the applicable rate of the day. This membership due is not included in our package price and must be paid separately.  You can apply for Sailmail membership via the web at this link: http://www.sailmail.com/FormAppl.htm

The current Airmail software, USB modem and USB cable offered, all work well under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7,8,10. Although operation with other older windows operating systems (ie Win 98, 2000 etc) is possible, performance can be erratic and no technical support is provided. Airmail also runs on MAC systems running Windows with Boot Camp, Parallels, or similar programs (we do not provide support for Apple Mac systems).

Although a CD with detailed help files is provided with each modem purchase, sometimes you just cannot beat the convenience of having a physical reference booklet sitting by your pactor modem installation (to look up those not so often used features of the Airmail software).  The 68-page Sailors' Quick-Start Guide to SailMail / Airmail / Winlink 2000 is chock-full of detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and more than 70 screen shots to quickly get you sending e-mail and receiving Weather FAX. This booklet is included with your modem purchase
