"WINMOR, by Rick Muething KN6KB of the Winlink Development Team, is a new HF radio transmission protocol for the Winlink 2000 system. WINMOR was introduced at the 2008 ARRL / TAPR Digital Communications Conference in Chicago on September 26-28, 2008. Unlike PACTOR, only a simple computer soundcard-to-radio interface is required, and it runs as a "virtual TNC" with Paclink and RMS software. Also unlike PACTOR, it is fully documented and without restrictions or license issues preventing anyone from using the protocol in other software. It has multiple modes, ranging from 200 to 2000 Hertz in bandwidth, and provides raw speeds ranging from 125 to at least 1875 bits per second.
WINMOR will NOT replace Pactor but be used in addition to Pactor in the WL2K system. On the HF bands RMS gateway stations will operate either WINMOR or Pactor (1-3). While WINMOR may not equal P2 and P3 in total performance it will provide lower cost, higher performance and more robustness than P1. The primary applications will be for low usage EmComm applications where station owners have trouble justifying the high cost and low utilization of the P2 and P3 modem."
