RXSSTV


What does RX-SSTV do?

RX-SSTV is an easy and back to basics SSTV decoding program. It automatically saves received SSTV-images (any supported mode is detected automatically too) and supports DSP.
Uses the powerful MMSSTV Engine © JE3HHT - Makoto Mori!
Because SWL's don't need TX, this part of the program can be left out. No cumbersome settings for com-ports, ptt interfaces and no accidental transmissions by activating the TX by mistake! A totally harmless program for even the youngest of SWL's who want to discover the world of digital communications, like SSTV.
Still, why no TX? Why? Primary because there are so many, many SSTV programs out there that do a great job receiving and transmitting SSTV, but none for the SWL (short wave listener) or for people that have no HAM license, tech-students in schools etc...
or...
Also ideal for receiving SSTV from the International Space Station ISS! Is why by default Robot-36 mode is used in the program. However, the program will detect any available SSTV-mode that it receives and activate the automated saving process. You won't miss any received images whatever mode.

It's FREEWARE!

Examples of received ISS SSTV images in Robot36 using RX-SSTV
(16...19 oktober 2008).
Special thanks to the astronat Richard Garriott W5KWQ aboard ISS for his extra efforts to communicate with fellow HAM's, setting up the HAM-equipment for SSTV, repeater mode, aprs and so much more!
