Pactor PTC-IIusb modem

My yacht came with a Pactor PTC-IIusb modem which I don't need and want to sell. How do I find out if its been upgraded to a Pactor 3?
I've looked at the Pactor website and there is no clear answer to my question there.
There are cables for an ICOM 802 SSB and the usb cable to connect the modem to my boat's laptop computer.

The computer is running Windows 10. I assume there is software I could install on the computer, then connect it to the Pactor via the usb cable and get info about the upgrade status. Any help appreciated.

Call your local SCS dealer and give them the serial number of the unit. They should be able to tell if a PACTOR license has been issued.

Thanks for the suggestion, that would be nice IF I could get a hold of the local dealer here in NZ. Living now in what is an almost 3rd world country, it is very difficult to make contact with many local companies.

How's that? Third world country? Should I cancel my plans to visit next year?

Meanwhile, ask these people, you can probably do so via email:

Re: Pactor PTC-IIusb modem

Hello Jordan,
I've e-mailed them and the German manufacturer; waiting for a reply.


My comment about NZ was somewhat tongue in cheek, but after living here for 23 years, I have to say this country is fast going downhill. Rampant crime, especially in the N. Island, health system in shambles, lots of economic hardship, huge gap between rich and poor, an entrenched multi-generational lower class on the permanent welfare role, gang membership on the rise, a Government that thinks having 60% of students attending classes regularly is "really good", a concerted attempt by radical Maori activists to rewrite NZ history with all Europeans as the "bad guys" and all Maori as victims of oppression, a leader of the Green party claiming at ALL violence in the world is perpetrated by "cis white males", destruction of the economy by woke folk who claim all oil is BAD and we all have to get around on bikes, the "Clean Green" image is a sham, plenty of environmental damage...I could go on and on. Yes, it is still a beautiful country and like anywhere there are nice friendly folks around, but sorry, not the reality that the Govt spin doctors would have you believe.

Hi Jordan,
I got a reply from SCS; it is in fact an upgraded Pactor 3 modem.
