Hello Jim,

I do use RX-SSTV, detects mode automatic and autocorrects slant
images, besides adding mode and time at bottom of image. You can even
start concurrently MMSTV to compare results.

I use robot36 on my phone. Get in the app store. I believe there are version
for both droid & I phone (I'm droid)?It's free.
Just hold the phone next to the radio's speaker. Save it as soon as it
finishes or it will overwrite. The signal is strong enough to work with an
html and stock antenna. Doppler correction is really not needed.
Good luck!

Jim,

Auto mode will pick it up, but you can find it by right clicking on one of
the visible modes.  There are far too many supported to fit on the screen.

SatPC32 will work very nicely.

Hi Rick!

Normally, the ISS SSTV signals are very easy to copy. So far,
this is not the case with today's SSTV transmissions. For some
reason, signals are much weaker than normal. A 20-degree pass
in the past hour only yielded parts of two pictures for me,
where normally that could be a pass with two complete pictures
with little or no interference.

I have some higher passes later this afternoon and evening;
maybe those will work better. If not, I'll try and see what I
can get...

73!

Kinda like PCs.? I paid $1800-someodd dollars for a new FT-736R in
1993.? Today a rig with similar function but way better performance (I
presume!) is about the same price.
$1800/25(years)=$72/year.? Not bad.? And it still works.? If the 9700 is
worth a hoot it would only be about $84/year when I'm 88.? What a bargain!

GEOSATs have another interesting characteristic.   600 ms round trip
delay due to the longer distance.

Does anyone remember when MCI first started providing a discounted
long distance telephone service?

This will make voice QSOs a little unnatural but certainly not impossible.

Jerry,

Think I will wait a bit for supply to catch up with demand.  By then, we
will know whether it works as claimed, particularly from a digital
standpoint.  Having dropped about $5k on a rig which didn't, the wait will
be a good investment on a bucket list rig.

600 mSec is almost a triple hop, so not that long...

For those of us that operated on AO-40 during it's unfortunately short life,
when it was at or near apogee, it was well beyond the Geo belt, and that was
entertaining.  Of course most people on linear birds operate full duplex and
it took a little to get used to hearing yourself with such along delay...
