    Not really accurate.

    If memory serves, speeds of 1000 bps are typical with decent radio
    conditions. That is with the Pactor II mode. I understand Pactor III is
    being deployed which will deliver faster speeds.

    I'd be interested in hearing of "real world" experiences from the
    liveaboard hams.
