Since the invention of the first widget, every innovation has been greeted with two statements, “That’s wonderful,’ followed by “Can you make it bigger, faster, do this or that?”.
The same is true of PS Engineering’s innovative and successful PAC45-series. The PAC45 in 2017, but more control heads and inputs were wanted, so the PAC45 came out in 2018, the PAC45A in 2019, the PAC45D added dual control head functionality in early 2020. But customers wanted more. More knobs, more controls.
PS Engineering, Inc is now growing the family again with the new fully digital PAC45J, which features the CTL45J, a 2.62-inch tall Dzus Control Head with individual switching capability for eight communication and eight navigation receivers.
