Introduction to Slow Scan Television

LWolf

Welcome

A lot has changed since I originally posted my slow scan television page. This site has been well received over the years.. Traditional Slow Scan Television is still around and running strong but there is a new upstart on the horizon sparked by faster and cheaper computers. Digital Slow Scan Television takes picture clairity to the next level giving you perfect images off of your radio with no static lines or fading. A simple hookup to your computer's sound card output and input to interface your rig and a simple program is all it takes to be on the air.

Stone Age

If you haven't checked out Amateur Radio Slow Scan Television for a while, you don't know what you have been missing. Slow Scan Television has been around since the Stone Age of television; unfortunately expensive and elaborate interfaces and poor black and white images did nothing to enhance the experience. Commercial equipment was very expensive and few people were up to the challenge of a homebrew project.
