  1. Did some more experiments with #SSTV this afternoon.

    This time, using #QSSTV. Not sure why, but modulation is well down. Receive is fine. The command I used last time is fine too. Just QSSTV is "low".

    I had to also make up my own #rigctld implementation, enough to fool QSSTV into thinking it was the real deal, so I could use that to control the GPIO pin on the UDRC-II for PTT. This is hacky and nasty, but it's enough to trick QSSTV.

  2. Well today trying to receive the #ISS #SSTV experiment yielded nothing to be heard on 437.800MHz over #PF95. and one the passes was 60°+ in the sky. 😿

    my setup was FT-857D, X50M antenna, digirig, laptop for hardware side. Software had #rigctld, #gpredict interfaced with rigctld to control the doppler, and #QSSTV to do the decode of the signal.
