At this point the FCC has not made the
rule change that would allow Pactor 4 use on Ham bands, and Winlink is Ham band only. If you are using Sailmail, you can use Pactor 4 since they are on
Marine HF frequencies where the limitation does not apply.
The FCC may yet change the
rule for Ham bands, but though it has been under consideration for almost 2 years now, it has not come to pass.
Having said all that, you might find somewhat better/faster connections with one of the new Pactor 4 modems operating in Pactor 3 mode, but it may not be a big improvement or worth the extra
money.
