SSTV TX transmits Slow Scan Television images from .BMP files stored on the SD card. The signal is transmitted as FM audio tones in the standard SSTV frequency range (1,500–2,300 Hz).
Controls
- File — Selects the
.BMPfile to transmit from theSSTV/directory on the SD card. - Mode — Selects the SSTV transmission mode. Default: Scottie 2.
- Frequency, Gain, AMP — Standard RF controls. Default gain: 12 dB.
- ▶ — Starts transmission. A progress bar shows the current scanline.
Supported Modes
| Mode | VIS Code | Lines | µs/pixel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scottie 1 | 60 | 256 | 432.0 |
| Scottie 2 (default) | 56 | 256 | 275.2 |
| Scottie DX | 76 | 256 | 1080.0 |
