Title: SDR SSTV decoding
Post by: Matt285 on January 01, 2020, 1604 UTC

Waiting on the day when I purchase my RSPdx and want to find out what I can before hand. I plan on purchasing the Black Cat systems app for WEFAX, Is there one for SSTV and what basic equipment do I need besides the RSP receiver and my outdoor antenna? Thanks

Yes, there is also Black Cat SSTV: https://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/sstv.html

You just need a virtual audio cable program to route the audio from your SDR app to the SSTV app. There are many to choose from (I assume you have Windows), for example: https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/

Thanks Chris. Yes I run Windows. I never thought much about SSTV, but I was a bit jealous last night when people were decoding Pirate images. Also it may be fun to swap images on 20 meters as well. Different cables needed Im certain, but that will be later on.
