Creative Services Software Enhances Radio and TNC Support, Enhances User Interface in Maintenance Release of PacTerm/PKTerm Amateur Radio Software

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Muscle Shoals, AL, July 7, 2008—Creative Services Software, Inc. (CSS) today announced a maintenance release of the company’s radio control software. Version 3.76.15 of both PacTerm™ (for Timewave/AEA TNCs) and PKTerm™ (for Kantronics TNCs) is now available for download at no charge for customers with current maintenance contracts.

PacTerm and PKTerm 3.76.15 features new packet mailbox capabilities, enhanced support for Kenwood transceivers, and enhanced operation in HF and terminal modes.

PKTerm Simplifies Multiple Call Sign Support in Packet Mail
PKTerm now offers new functionality for managing MTEXT and CTEXT messages for multiple call signs. Using registration sets for each of up to 10 call signs, operators can switch from their Ham Radio call sign to a MARS call sign. Mail drop and automatic answer text changes automatically depending on the call sign registration set activated on start-up.

Improved Mailbox Performance
Both PacTerm and PKTerm now include user interface modifications that automatically bring up an HF window on startup and improve performance when returning to terminal mode.

Improved Support for Kenwood Radios
The new release adds full log book functionality for Kenwood radios. PacTerm and PKTerm support more than 66 radios from multiple manufacturers, providing many times greater transceiver compatibility than other TNC software solutions.

Both programs require Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Existing PacTerm and PKTerm customers who are current maintenance subscribers may download the new release at no charge from the CSS Website. PacTerm and PKTerm retail for $99.95 (49.95 for upgrades) and are available for purchase online at www.cssincorp.com, at many ham radio retailers and through several amateur radio equipment catalogs.
