Does SSDR v3.1.8 support operation with Pactor modems?

I have been runnng SSDR v2.4.9 with my Flex-6600. I occasionally use a SCS PTC-IIusb PACTOR modem with this radio/software combination. I've been considering upgrading the radio software, and I noticed a warning in the v2.6.1 release notes that this version specifically doesn't support PACTOR modems.

The same warning isn't present in any of the v3.x release notes... Does SSDR v3.1.8 support operation with Pactor modems?

    Never mind... I found this in the v3.1.8 release notes: (#6938) Operation with Pactor modems will not work properly in v3.1.8. Pactor operation is functional in v2.4.9.

    What is preventing PACTOR operation in SSDR versions after v2.4.9???

    I am using a 7400 Dragon and it has been working fine on v3. 1.8. No other operator is connected remotely to my 6700 at the time though so I don't know how that would impact the functionality but I have been successful on ham and SHARES frequencies. Good luck! 73 Gary WB9AYD

    I haven’t been able to get my 7800 Dragon to connect with WinLink since v3. The timing is ever so slightly off and it doesn’t connect. If I revert back to v2, it immediately works fine.

    My TX delay in Winlink is 10 ms and I have the longpath box checked.

    I've tried every tweak, nothing works.  The fact that a simple swap from v2 to v3 and then back to v2 fixes it means its not a WinLink issue.
