Yes, that should work, then add a link here to the image. You might want to save them as a jpeg or whatever format gives the smallest file size.

fpeconsultant could you tell us what you used to decode the weather fax? It appears to be a Universal product.

I have an M-8000 as well but haven't spent as much time with it as I would like. I have been playing with YaND to decode SITOR. I like it because it auto logs the broadcast and the copy paste aspect you can use for reports. But to be honest in side by side comparisons the M-8000 decodes better. Just starting back into digital and trying to find my way around.
