SafecomLink Pactor - Amateur Radio Forum

Yes, we know the situation: you're in the middle of a file transfer or a long transmission, and you want to disconnect NOW.

Aborting is not polite, as it leaves the other side hanging and retrying for a full minute. On the other hand, pressing "Disconnect" currently waits until the transmission is fully completed.

Not anymore.

In the next version, clicking "DISCONNECT" will immediately clear the outgoing buffer and initiate the disconnect sequence.

If you prefer to disconnect only after the current transmission is completed, simply use the <DISC> tag in the chat message. Coming soon...

We’ve identified a bug where, during SafecomLink fresh installation, the default AUTO-QSY setting is incorrectly set to OFF instead of ON. As a result, all QSY requests are rejected by default unless manually approved.

..

Similar to VarAC, enabling AUTO-QSY provides a protective mechanism that ensures QSY only occurs within the allowed SafecomLink range, so there is no risk in turning it on.

...

Please update this setting (as shown in the image) to enable Auto-Protected QSY, which is the standard default across all SafecomLink and VarAC networks.
