Amateur Slow-Scan Television
(SSTV) pictures
Equipment used:
Second-hand Yaesu Musen FRG7 short wave receiver (1970s vintage),
indoor wire antenna,
second-hand Dell laptop.
I put a 600 ohm line isolating transformer (Maplin part no N92CC) between the Mic input of the sound card and the Line Out socket of the radio: this protects the sound card and stops RF from the computer leaking back into the radio (and also helps if you want to record audio from the radio onto the PC). Put the transformer at the end of the lead closest to the PC.
First image decoded with a Demo copy of JVComm32 FAX software.
All others decoded with MMSSTV Version 1.1
