Two cables will be supplied (1.5 metres long) to link your Icom radio to this modem (no soldering or making up of cables required by you) The modem can connect to your Windows laptop / PC via the USB serial converter supplied by us (you need one spare USB port on your PC / laptop for this connection). This modem also has the capability to switch your radio frequency and mode via the Airmail (email / Weatherfax) software. A further USB to serial converter (not supplied) and a further spare USB port on your laptop is needed if you wish to use this functionality. Self installation is straight forward with the written Quick Install Guide provided by us. This package includes AirMail-3 for SailMail and Winlink on CD.

You can apply for Sailmail membership via the web at this link: http://www.sailmail.com/FormAppl.htm The current Airmail software, USB modem and USB cable offered, all work well under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7,8,10. Although operation with other older windows operating systems (ie Win 98, 2000 etc) is possible, performance can be erratic and no technical support is provided. Airmail also runs on MAC systems running Windows with Boot Camp, Parallels, or similar programs (we do not provide support for Apple Mac systems). Although a CD with detailed help files is provided with each modem purchase, sometimes you just cannot beat the convenience of having a physical reference booklet sitting by your pactor modem installation (to look up those not so often used features of the Airmail software). The 68-page Sailors' Quick-Start Guide to SailMail / Airmail / Winlink 2000 is chock-full of detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and more than 70 screen shots to quickly get you sending e-mail and receiving Weather FAX. This booklet is included with your modem purchase (Please note it is not possible to upgrade a Pactor 3 modem to Pactor 4 speeds - if you require the fastest data speeds available then consider upgrading to our Pactor 4 modem package described on our webpage here
