After 3 minutes, QSYed to SEEDS which was in digitalker mode.  Below is the
best SSTV picture from SEEDS.  Can anyone explain why the image is still
noisy despite a full quieting 59+10db signal (with preamp on)?

Also had an earlier 3 degree pass that was copied unattended.  This was an
exclusive SEEDS pass which was also in digitalker mode.

 

73,
