A vox recorder will work, however a running SSTV problem will work much better. Just make sure you save the images to disk. Most if not all SSTV programs have an Auto Receive move and will save to disk.
Practice at home sending and receiving images between two radios on your radio bench.
If you have HF you can try to RX on 14.230 SSB, that freq is usually busy with HF sstv.
When you are all set, go to FM 145.800, Robot-36 and leave the rig on 24/7.

Leaving your radio on the ISS 2m downlink with an audio cable connected to a PC which is running VoxRecorder will automatically record wav files when the squelch opens.
Just listen or view whatever you missed while you were hard at work at your convenience.

Hi all, Thanks to Bob for all of the information in helping keeping amateur radio alive especially with respect to the our interest in satellites. But just a note to remind any readers that the frequency that Bob refers to for the APRS, is of course for the operations in the USA. - Bobs web pages which he refers to "Do" of course highlight this. Thank you again Bob for all of your time and effort in putting out so much interesting and useful information on this aspect of our hobby. Good Luck to all in following the Richard Garriott mateur radio projects. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat - UK Amast NA
