This club is dedicated to the worldwide amateur radio slow-scan television (SSTV) community. It will hopefully act as a focus for further interest in SSTV, both for those radio amateurs who regularly participate in SSTV transmissions, and for those who have not yet tried this very engaging mode.

There are many commercial sound card interfaces and home brew interface circuits available for the Digital Modes. When using a Kenwood TS-2000 your computer must have two serial ports if you want to control your TS-2000 with it and use your digital mode software with it at the same time. For radio control my Kenwood TS-2000’s serial port is connected to my computers serial port and is configured as Com 1. For my digital modes I am presently using an older model BUX COMM RASCAL "Radio And Sound Card Adapter Link" GLX with its radio port attached to ACC2 on my Kenwood. The GLX's Serial connector is plugged into a KEYSPAN USA-19HS USB to SERIAL adapter configured as Com 3. Many of the new Computer Sound Card Interfaces are already setup for USB connection. Unfortunately many of the computers out today do not have serial ports. In that case you will still have to buy a USB to SERIAL adapter for your computer in order to connect your Kenwood’s serial port to it for radio control.

In the past I have used a RIGblaster standard model M8 to properly connect my radio to my computer's sound card. The RIGblaster has excellent quality and I can highly recommend it.

I've seen some good reviews on the SignaLink USB. It has the advantage of a built-in Sound Card and it also provides a USB connection to your computer.

Timewave’s customers swear by their DSP filters and PK-232 owners love the flexibility and reliability of the most popular data controller ever built. Now with the addition of a built-in sound card, rig control, computer isolation and total USB connectivity, the PK-232SC rolls it all into one!

Before you buy your choice of Sound Card Interface. I suggest you read the product reviews available for it on Ham Radio on the NET. I invite you to buy or build a Computer Interface and join me in the Sound Card Revolution. I'll be watching for you on 14.230 Mhz SSTV. 73 - Dave.

There are many SSTV programs available. One of the most popular is the Freeware SSTV program I use called MMSSTV by Makoto (Mako) Mori, JE3HHT. If you take the time to study the included MMSSTV help file I think you will like it as much as I do; and you can't beat the price.

One of the Freeware programs I use is MMTTY by JE3HHT, Makoto (Mako) Mori. It's one of the easiest RTTY programs to learn and may be the best available. You sure can't beat the price. You may find it by clicking on the MMTTY picture above.

For PSK31 I have used the MixW all mode software. But I prefer DigiPan its Freeware ancestor. They may be found by clicking on their pictures below.
