Hi Kirk.
 
You need a very good signal to noise ration with that SSTV via FM.
 
I've had OK (ish) pictures with a 3 element beam, but it's not ideal.
 
Try a near overhead pass, it must be a lot closer now than it was 2 months  
ago when I last tried.

GA,
All the talk about SSTV from this bird got me thinking I'd  like to try!
I downloaded MMSSTV and installed. 
What are the best  settings to use in the setup page for decent copy of 
photos from  ARRISAT-1?
I did copy pix on 14.230 after setup as a test run...but on last  pass of 
ARRISAT, had wonderful copy of voice beacon but no pictures  decoded.
So wonder what I might be doing wrong.
Any help  appreciated.
Kirk, N0KK
