From Wikipedia

PACTOR is a radio modulation mode used by amateur radio operators, marine radio stations, military or government users such as the United States Department of Homeland Security & its cybersecurity agency CISA, and radio stations in isolated areas to send and receive digital information via radio. PACTOR is an evolution of both AMTOR and packet radio; its name is a portmanteau of these two technologies' names. PACTOR uses a combination of simple FSK modulation, and the ARQ protocol for error detection and data throughput. Generational improvements to PACTOR include PACTOR II, PACTOR III, and PACTOR IV which are capable of higher speed transmission. As PACTOR was designed to operate as a shortwave HF band radio, it commonly operates at frequencies between 3 MHz and 30 MHz.
