SSTV, that is, “Slow-scan television”, is a way to transmit pictures upon the radio. It is especially used by radio amateurs on the HF bands.
SSTV software
The programme I use for decoding SSTV transmissions is MMSSTV. I just use a laptop with the audio output of the radio connected to the mic-in.
STTV bands
At the moment I tried only to receive SSTV pictures around 14.230 MHz. However, the following frequencies are the one suggested on Wikipedia for SSTV transmissions:
Band | Frequency | Sideband |
---|---|---|
80 meters | 3845 kHz (3730 in Europe) | LSB |
40 meters | 7170 kHz (7043 in Europe) | LSB |
20 meters | 14230 kHz | USB |
15 meters | 21340 kHz | USB |
10 meters | 28680 kHz | USB |
