SSTV / FAX

 

SSTV is still being used  on the ham radio bands and there are a few good  software packages to chose from. A lot of the signals that you will receive will be Martin 1 or Scottie. There are new  digital modes to be consider also.A good place to look for SSTV is on 14.230 mhz give or take a few khz - check this page out to see what SSTV sounds like

 

Heres a screen shot of MMSSTV taken from the  mmsstv slow scan television download site

To control your transmitterr you will need an interface of some kind for ptt / audio out from the computer  to the tcvr microphone / audio into the computer sound card check my circuits page out

It will install on a Raspberry Pi 3 and also a Raspberry Pi 4
