[Michael Tondee]

I'll set mine up for tonight while I sleep and tommorow while I work. Maybe 
I should get something then. I have Chromapix SSTV software and I'll have to 
check my docs but I believe when set to auto receive that it will 
continually receive pics and place them in an "autosave" folder.
Thanks,
Michael, W4HIJ
