In a attempt to decode the sstv signals, I managed to crash SAT 32. I now have everything working again but have missed the window for ISS SSTV.My station is SAT32PC with ERC rotor tracking. FT817 radio 1 as downlink and IC7100 as radio 2 uplink.I downloaded MMSSTV but could not decode the SSTV signal. I realized that there was no audio link to mmsstv. That's when SAT 32 crashed I had tried to change to configuration 2. I was unaware that there was a corrupted file in the software. What I am confused about is what sstv software should I use for ISS and how should it be configured to allow sat32 to do its job and decode the signal without conflicts? Jim KI6WJ
Hi Jim,
The best software is probably MMSSTV (http://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php). Just run it in automatic mode, and it should figure out the mode of the picture being received.
What you might do is listen in on 20 meters to the SSTV "Watering hole", 14.230. It's not been very active recently, but that's at least partly a matter of propagation. The FT817 should be fine for receive, and you can check out the audio path with that.
Good luck!
