      I had a similar issue when I first started downloading SSTV, and if I recall correctly I believe it was because I had the input audio set way too high (I cranked it down to just about no audio to get a clear pic).  If you have downloaded pictures before from HF and have had success at your preset audio levels, then I doubt that is the issue.

Zack and others.
Yes, audio feed is direct as with all digi modes I operate.
Just had a pass of ARRISat-1 of 45 degrees plus over head. The downlink into my M2 5 element yagi @ 35 degrees elevation was S-9 plus 10db. A very good  (great) signal.
2 times during the pass the SSTV was transmitted. During neither of them did the program initialize and copy anything. Partway through the 2nd transmission I forced it into RX Robot-36. All that occured was for it to stop after about 5 seconds. Again nothing decoded....frustrating to say the least. I'd like to get 1 photo...HI.
Using the exact same setting I have had several QSO's now on HF sending and receiving very clear photos.
Not sure what else to try.
N0KK, Kirk

Hi Kirk,
Like Greg said, ARRISat-1 is Robot 36. I also found that I received the 
clearest pictures when I ran the audio directly into the pc versus letting 
it pickup the audio from a speaker. I imagine you are probably already 
doing this.

GA,
All the talk about SSTV from this bird got me thinking I'd like to try!
I downloaded MMSSTV and installed.
What are the best settings to use in the setup page for decent copy of 
photos from ARRISAT-1?
I did copy pix on 14.230 after setup as a test run...but on last pass of 
ARRISAT, had wonderful copy of voice beacon but no pictures decoded.
So wonder what I might be doing wrong.
Any help appreciated.
Kirk, N0KK
