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?

Any help appreciated. Kirk, N0KK
SSTV pictures on HF are often in Scottie-1 mode, while the ARISSat-1 are in Robot-36. Perhaps you are receiving in the wrong mode? That's about the only thing I can think of that might be mis-matched, if HF works, since with the satellite's downlink being in FM mode, you can't be off in audio frequency. I presume you're seeing the audio in the waveform display.
MMSSTV has an automatic mode detect which I have found to work very well. I just click on that, and off it goes. I think everything is default. Have you tried that?
Good luck,
Greg KO6TH

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.

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.

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.

On the latest pass, only about 17 degrees I had some success with a photo.
It is in no way a clear photo but I can see call letters in the upper left hand side of the print. The rest of the pix seems to be that of a half globe or something like that...lots of "noise" present in photo.
To accomplish this result I had to use the "rit" to adjust.

Hi Zack,
It sounds like you don't have a clear enough signal from the satellite. For a good picture, you will need to have full-quieting FM reception. How did the voice announcements sound, prior to the SSTV session?
On good pass earlier today, I copied this picture: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/uploads/6443.jpg It was nearly S9 on the meter. Just now there was a really low pass (maybe 5 degrees), and at most an S2 with the preamp turned on. The audio was good enough to copy most of what was being said, and MMSSTV was able to trigger on the SSTV image, but all I got for a picture was a rectangle of multi-colored snow. Same setup as the with the earlier picture.
You will have to adjust the receive frequency a bit to account for the Doppler shift on most passes. That's just life with Satellites.

Hi Greg,
I think you have me confused with Kirk, N0KK, the op experiencing the SSTV issues. I do agree, however, that your signal must have no static if you want to get a clear picture. S5-S7 sometimes doesn’t even cut it. I used the Arrow (no preamp), and I was able to get it to S7-S9 as long as I wasn’t in the trees. I posted some of my pics on my blog: http://kd8ksn.blogspot.com/2011/12/september-2011-in-effort-to-reduce.html

Follow up to my earlier post about getting SSTV signals from ARRISat-1.
I have now decoded 2 1/2 photos.
They are not real clear, though the band was fully quiet. No static etc. I can see some detail of the horizon of earth and space. Cool.
I'll keep at it. And thank you to those who helped with suggestions!
Kirk, N0KK

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
