[amsat-bb] Re: First SSTV Rx

[John W Lee]

That looks like KO6TZ's picture. I've seen it many times ! 

And it does NOT take too much audio to make the MMSSTV
work. I can turn the volume down on my radio to where I can just 
hear it on the speaker, and that's enough.  Louder is OK, as long as you
don't crank it up where it's all distorted.
