What it does

Simple

This is the sending side of SSTV: pick a picture and it turns it into the warbling tones that other people's SSTV apps can turn back into your picture. With a ham licence it's a fun way to send images across town or further.

How it works

Simple

Each dot's brightness/colour becomes a tone; the app plays the tones in order so a receiver can rebuild your picture.

How to use it, step by step

Simple
  1. Get a ham licence or use a dummy load.
  2. Put an image on the card.
  3. Open 'SSTV TX' and pick it.
  4. Send it and decode on another device.

Examples

Image loopback

Send a picture and decode it on a second device to check the mode.

Club exchange

Swap SSTV images with other licensed hams on a local repeater.

Tips & things to try

  • Both ends must use the same mode — the VIS header handles that automatically.
  • Simple, high-contrast images survive noise best.
