Control the Elecraft KX3
Hello,
I‘m not sure it I‘m right here. I‘ m interested in this program but first want to make sure if there is a control of an Elecraft KX3 in the settings (frequency, etc) through my SCS 7803 available. I habe the Blurtooth modul so I should be able to make control of the whole system - in Winlink it is possible Tks et 73, Erwin OE1EKG

Hello OM
Yes. If you worked with your pactor modem using winlink for example, it will work with SafecomLink. We have your rig covered. See attached image. If for some reason it will not work - we will assist you until it works. Looking forward to seeing you joining the Premium SafecomLink Pactor Club!

One thing boats use Winlink for is to get GRIB weather files via Winlink email. The formatting of that email must be specific and not contain any extra text or characters. It is a shore line of text. It looks like using the email relay system on SafecomLink adds the sender's call sign and the word Vmail. Those cause the Saildocs system to only return an error message email. Is there any chance of sending email without added texts? The subject line can be blank or have "grib request" but usually it is blank.
I have attached a sample of a proper saildocs request email.

Hi Harley. Help me help you :) Take a VMAIL you got from SafecomLink and make manual adjustments to it (with ";" as suggested) and send it to Saildoc... make a few rounds to polish it and in the end tell me exactly what are the minimal changes requried to he VMAIL to go through the Saildoc parser. as I said - I can add a feature that strips the entire meta data but then you wont me able to get a reply to the gateway. only to your email.

What's the chance for a passkey feature for logging in? The current verification process for picking out the cars/bicycles/busses/crosswalks is a royal PITA on a 13" laptop screen. I've got to go through NUMEROUS iterations to get the log-in to realize that I'm a real person and not a bot. Thanks!

I am sorry but the platform does not support any other method except captche. Usualy it is not very strict. but when there is suspicious and becomes a bit aggressive. Sorry for this.

Turning Off QSY From CF?
Is it possible now, or to be added, the option to turn off or adjust the timing of the mandatory QSY from the calling frequency? I am trying to setup a trial on Marine digital frequencies based on Appendix 17 of the ITU rules. However, the Marine allocations are "channels" and not ranges, so the 500 Hz spacing are not allowed. You could have slots that switch to other distinct allowed frequencies but the steps are much greater at 3kHz. I guess a Marine version of VarAC and
SafecomLink would be a whole new animal that used these other "channels" as the slots. I have attached my first plan for possible frequencies for Marine use....with help from AI.

I have created a Marine configuration file and will work on some of your suggestions. The drop down choice of slots will be the best option. I imagine the program just wants you to leave the CF and is not requiring you to use a slot? I will send screen shots or a copy of the ini once I have it done.

Pactor screen info
The new DR-9400 does not have a screen like my DR-7800 which I find quite useful for monitoring the background or busy channel situation. Will SafecomLink incorporate any visual info from the Pactor modems like a waterfall etc? The waterfall helps, especially when things get busy on the calling frequency.

SafecomLink does provide data from the modem like on the bottom left mostly about Speed levels and the BUSY indicator on the top left. As for waterfalls - The modem does not provide any data about that through its interface.

True. we will remove this Jim. At the moment we do not have an office Safecomlink manual. The closest thing is to read the VarAC manual which is the community versio of SafecomLink and was written by community members.

Encryption?
Has Pactor message encryption been considered? Because my usage of SafecomLink is in the amateur bands where signal encryption is disallowed, my suggestion doesn’t have any application that I’d be able to use. However, for commercial users encryption might be a useful feature. Of course, it would like require an “Encrypt On/Encrypt Off” switch.
Known to some but perhaps not to all Pactor users, the DR7xxx Dragon series can be licensed for AES-256 Encryption alone or combined with the ALE license. For those who might not know, the encryption feature in the Dragon is modem-to-modem where data into and out of the modem is “in the clear”.
Just a thought …

Adjusments to Pactor settings. A terminal tool built in? I am having to switch into Airmail program, which has a Dumb Terminal tool to make adjustments. This is also built into Winlink's Pactor settings.

Existing formware of the modems (including DR-9400) does not provide this data. BUT due to the recent collaboration of SafecomLink and SCS/Wimo, SCS has added just recently support for SNR data for the DR-9400 modem. This firmware was not yet released, And SafecomLInk in planning to retrieve this data and present it to the user.
