Hi Bob,
I also have put MMSSTV on 14.230 and most of the images look great with a handful that are terrific. I am not using anything fancy just a 15' whip and an FT-847.
Maybe the noise level is really high there?

Bob,
It is just you. ;) Seriously, I do the same thing, and 3 out of 4 are good pictures, perhaps 1 in 5 outstanding. I do use Ham Radio Deluxe, which has a few nice tricks such as automatic slant correction. A suggestion is to calibrate the sound card clock. Many are significantly off. Not certain about MMSTV, but HRD has that built in. Also, check the audio level to make certain it is correct.
73s,

Jeff, KB8VCO and I were successful in transmitting a picture and receiving back an image via the ARISSat-1/RADIOSKAF-V transponder.
By the way, once I got MMSTV loaded I decided to just park it on 14.230 MHz all day long and watch the SSTV images come rolling in. I have been watching them in my office (when I walk by that PC) and although hear SSTV all day long, and some signals very strong..... I must admit, only ONE in 2 weeks has been discernable as to what the picture actually is..
ALl the rest you can tell MAYBE that it is some kind of picutre with maybe some text at the top and the bottom, but NONE of them have been readable. Yet, the signals sound like they would make a Q5 599 SSB signal. Is it just me, or does HF multipath slur the imgaes beyone all recognition.?
