Ah! We sure do like to speculate, don't we. It's easy to ask. The email
address is right on their web page.

I forgot to ask, so I won't post his text, but an email to one of the
developers (skip) said it was some printing bug and that he is now on the
air testing the fix. I then asked about Pactor, but haven't gotten the
reply yet.

I wasn't sure what the exact nature of the catastrophe was.... Maybe
tracking down a final "bug" in the software? The explanation was a little
bit cryptic, to say the least.

I thought that was weird about the PACTOR issue too... They complain about
PACTOR stations - but the new version has recieve-only PACTOR added!

Is PACTOR recieve there for the sole purpose of obtaining the call of
offending PACTOR stations so PSK31 users can whine about them? Personally,
I
have NEVER seen the bad behavior by PACTOR ops that the guy complains
about,
and I spend a good deal of time either monitoring the digital stuff, or on
the air.

I don't have PACTOR capability here, but know that PACTOR stations perform
a
useful purpose for ALL hams, not just for a couple of keyboarders going at
it.

I'll look into it... If these guys are out to harass PACTOR ops, they may
find that they have bitten off more than they can chew. Sounds to me like
they may have that old "we own this bit of spectrum" fantasy going. - But
then again, the web-site I listed is so cryptic that it's hard to tell
exactly WHAT they think they are are saying. It could be something else
altogether.

Hard to say... Anybody have an idea what they are talking about?
