The last 2 jamming instances here were not surprising, 1 hambo and 1 fireman.

If antenna only has center insulator and not balun you would like center conductor at the top if hung vertical. If there is 1:1 balun there is no mechanical connection and thus no up or down.
Remember if hung vertical, your noise level will be higher due to noise being vertical polarized also.
If you don't have an ohmmeter a small battery can be used to determine by placing one side of battery to pl259 center, touch each far end of antenna to other side of battery. The one that shows a small spark or two will be your center conductor element.
Have fun.... and welcome

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: KiwiSDR SSTV decoding

« on: July 02, 2019, 0330 UTC »

A total n00b question here, but what is the trick to decoding SSTV images on a KiwiSDR using the SSTV extension? I have had zero luck getting it to work.

Does it work for you on test image?

Is your clarifier unlocked as in does it change your tx frequency?
My guess is a trimmer capacitor needs tweaking, not menu driven.

Can you listen on a known good radio to see how far off you are?
