Receiving SSTV Signals Image On Baofeng UV-5R Ham Radio (145.800Mhz FM).

All you need to do to receive SSTV pictures direct from the space station is to connect the audio output of a scanner or amateur radio transceiver via a simple interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC or an Apple iOS device, and tune in to 145.800 MHz FM. Robot36 is an Android app that allows you to send and receive slow scan TV (SSTV) signals (pictures in the form of audio signals). Slow-scan television (SSTV) is a method for picture transmission used by amateur radio operators to transmit and receive images. The most popular modes of SSTV are Robot, Scottie, and Martin. A technical term for SSTV is narrowband television. Slow Scan Television What is SSTV ? Slow Scan Television (SSTV) is a narrow-band (voice spectra) picture transmission method used to receive and transmit static pictures via radio (Source: Wikipedia - 12/7/10). In fact the first pictures of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon were actually transmitted by Slow-Scan techniques beaming a picture back to Earth at the rate of 320 lines at the rate of 10 frames per second. The techniques for SSTV have improved quite considerably since those early techniques developed for the reception of signals from Space. All that is needed to transmit and receive SSTV is a good, stable sound card and audio lines in and out from your PC and radio. The simplest recommended reception interface would include a 600:600 ohm isolation transformer from the speaker output to the line in on your PC. Analogue SSTV Analogue SSTV...
