1. Introduction
The SCS CD-ROM
1.6
The SCS CD-ROM contains software to operate the PTC in various modes and important hints
and information about the operation of your PTC.
Additionally the CD contains the driver for the PTC-IIIusb.
1.6.1
The programs
The PTC offers many modes of operation of which most are related to the exchange of text or
data. In addition, picture modes like FAX and SSTV are supported. To access and operate your
PTC you must run a software program on your computer (PC). Although very simple terminal
software (i.e. Windows HyperTerminal) will control a PTC, it is much more convenient to use
a program which has been specially created to operate the SCS PTC series.
Many of the programs have been written on a voluntary base and are available free of charge to
all users and distributed via the Internet. With the permission of the authors we have included
the programs on our SCS CD-ROM. Third party programs are not developed by SCS and
SCS cannot provide support for them. If you have problems or questions concerning the
programs, please contact the author directly. Table 1 on the next page gives you an overview
on the software available for specific applications.
We are frequently asked: "What is the best program for the PTC?". This question cannot be
answered easily as it is similar to someone asking: "What is the best car?" or "What is the
best operating system?". It's a question of personal preference and depends on the
application.
If HF email is your application for your PTC, it may not be necessary to study Table 1. In
most cases, your HF email service provider supplies or recommends the appropriate
software for their particular service.
Transceiver control is possible with the PTC-IIIusb.
Windows programs usually need Windows 98 or higher.
EasyTransfer, SCSmail, and SCSupdate are the only programs that have been developed by
SCS.
The SCS CD-ROM is usually updated twice the year. Always check if there is a newer
version of your selected program available from the Internet.
