This might help you get clean pictures with
w95sstv:
Just use manual mode. With little noise it seems to prefer
robot72 but this will give confusing color
and image overlay errors.This has been working very well and
the correct mode will be set
even under extreme noise conditions.
-------
Set to robot36 mode.
Set to force sync. (it will not start decoding until start is
clicked)
Right after a picture begins (after it sends mode) hit start.
This keeps the program from incorrectly switching to
robot72 which it nearly always does. There is an error that
occurs most of the time that incorrectly decodes
the recieve mode.
Alternate: Get recall (scanner vox activated sound
recorder for the pc and a sound card)
Set it to enabled and track mir if needed with a
beam.
It will capture anything that makes it past the
squelch. I have two computers so I can play it back into
the second computer to
decode it, and I can use cooledit to band pass filter as needed.
Be sure your mic is off. W95sstv will even decode pictures
that are picked up through the speaker,
I did that by accident because some of the internet phone
programs reset the sound mixer to their settings.
Pictures will have lots of interference unless your room is
dead quiet.
As you save the pictures use empty space on the bottom of the
picture to state date, time,
lat, long and a name for the location the image was
taken. Note by looking at sequential pictures what direction
the ground track is moving. They seem to be live pictures but
I tried matching todays images with cloud
patterns from goes, and goes is too low resolution to find
it.
