If you can not find a way to transfer images from your VC-H1 via software to a Disk drive, you can try to Retransmit the images received. Connect your spare 2-meter rig to a PC via the sound card. Down load one of the Share ware SSTV programs and run it on your pc. Then send the images one at a time from the VC-H1 to the pc.

Are you sure you can't run the vc-h1 software from xp?

From: Allen Vinegar tokens@myranch.com Subject: [amsat-bb] VC-H1 for SSTV reception To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Date: Friday, October 10, 2008, 2:41 PM I would like to try receiving SSTV pictures using a VC-H1 and TH-D7AG combo with a handheld Arrow antenna.The VC-H1 stores up to ten pictures. Does anyone know of a program that will work with Windows XP that will allow the downloading of the stored pictures to a computer? The software that Kenwood originally provided does not seem to work under Windows XP.

Thank you for any help!

What happens when you try to run it? Do you know which version it's meant to work with?

The serial data commands are listed in the back of the manual for the VC-H1. It looks like it would be easy to write software for a modern OS to transfer files. I don't have a VC-H1 to try it with, though.

If anyone in the UK has one they'd like to sell, please let me know ;-)
