HAL PCI-4000/2K HF MODEM
Now you can send error-free data at high data rates over high frequency (HF) radio links. The HAL PCI-4000/2K modem plugs into your computer and gives you the highest performance possible when running CLOVER-2000 data mode. Installation and connection to your radio equipment is simple with the included software, cables, and user-friendly interface. Sending data via HF radio is not a simple task. Ionosphere conditions constantly change, often causing distortion and errors in the received data. CLOVER-2000 mode continuously measures the actual parameters of the received signal and adjusts the transmitted signal to compensate for these inescapable problems. Whatever the conditions, CLOVER-2000 adapts to give you the highest error-free data rate possible. To assure interoperability with all other HF data radio stations, the PCI-4000/2K also includes the standard FSK data modes. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in the PCI-4000/2K sets new standards for receive data recovery and transmit data purity when using these modes. Hear and work all of the signals - not just the loud ones. The PCI-4000/2K plugs into any PC-286 or higher personal computer, requiring one full-length I/O card slot. Complete software for all modes is provided with the PCI-4000/2K and a growing number of "3rd-party" PC-based programs are now available at little or no cost.
The P38 is a multi-mode HF data modem that gives you top performance operation using RTTY, AMTOR, P-MODE*, and CLOVER waveforms. The P38 is a full-sized plug-in card for PC-AT and faster personal computers. Multi-screen menu-driven HAL software is included with each P38 modem. Many popular "third-party" user programs are also available for the P38 - W0RLI, WINLINK, XPPCI and WF1B, for example. The P38 is complete and ready to run. Plug-in the board, connect three phono cables (not included) to your radio, and install the software -that's all there is to it!! Whether you want to rag-chew, chase DX, or contest, the P38 is the modem of choice.

HAL affirms that, to the best of its knowledge, "P-MODE" is compatible and interoperatable with the protocol SCS calls "Pactor" and with the link establishment and weak signal modes of the protocol SCS calls "Pactor-II".
The DSP4100/2K is an HF data modem that provides CLOVER-2000, a 2000 bits/sec., voice bandwidth, adaptive waveform specifically designed for HF radio data communications. CLOVER-2000 measures real-time HF signal conditions and sets the most efficient modulation for these conditions. 8-bit data is sent without extra manipulation or modification. ARQ mode is simultaneously bi-directional (duplex) and does not require an "OVER" command. FSK waveforms CCIR-476/625 "TOR", P-MODE*, Baudot and ASCII are included. Housed in an RF-tight shielded enclosure, the DSP modem operates on 10 to 18 volts DC. Internal modem software can be uploaded into the DSP4100/2K into non-volatile "flash memory", greatly simplifying addition upgrades. The DSP4100/2K is particulary well suited for use with lap-top terminals (PC's) in a portable and/or field enviroment. Many "third party" software packages are available.
