[AMRadio] Slow scan tv

[John Tate]

It's Digital SSTV. They use a computer program called Easy Pal. It's actually pretty neat in that you get a high-def image without noise in it like analog SSTV. It's perfectly legal in the phone and image bands. 

 It is NOT LEGAL for them to transmit when the frequency is in use however.

 Here's one page about Digtial SSTV

 Bernie, I haven't heard that on 75M yet, but have heard the noise on other bands. They don't talk much with it, like they used to with the old analog SSTV, so it's hard to know who they are. I guess they think the ID on the mode is enough, and I guess FCC says so too, not like the CW id of old. I haven't tuned any of it in yet, but any sound card program lets you look in, at least it did. I'm not up on the "new" digital stuff, but that's what your racket sounds like. Just like much of society today, good manners seem to be less and less on our bands. I'm sorry to need to say that. 73, Don, WB5HAK ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio at mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-request at mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
