Jens, Thanks for information. I had absolutely no idea there was already a narrow band SSTV mode in MMSSTV. Just shows no matter how long you've been a ham there is always something new to learn!
I am guessing then that this mode would be legal now on 30m in FCC areas as well as Region 1? I will have to try it out soon! By the way Jens, I have the autospotters running with a higher squelch value which should cut down on some of the busted calls on my spot pages. At some point soon I will enable a filter to exclude autospots if you wish. 73, Sholto KE7HPV. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jens Petersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 6:19 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Re: Redefining SSTV operations On Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:33:54 -0800, you wrote: >Andy, > >I agree with you - it would be nice to have a general purpose narrow >bandwidth image mode which could be used in a stand alone fashion. > >The problem with MFSK16 SSTV is that it is tied to MFSK16 and you can't >receive it if you didn't catch the MFSK "Pic:" command. > >Perhaps one of the programmers who frequent this group could invent an >analog 500Hz SSTV mode that allows someone listening to start receiving even >if they missed the initial "Pic:" command plus some form of automatic header >(like SSTV has now) or Patrick's RS-ID for easy tuning and correct submode >selection? In MMSSTV ver. 1.11G there is 6 narrow SSTV modes (ex. MP140-N), they works as fine as the wide modes, but takes longer time for the same quality. Let's use it on 7.038 (zone 1) and 10.140 -- OV1A Jens Solar Cycle 24 has arrived!
