[amsat-bb] Weather sat imaging

[Mvivona]

The reason I asked if it was the laptop is that I had a similar issue on my laptop. I had it all running fine with the connection from the microphone jack out of my radio then all of a sudden one day it was breaking images. I came to find out that somehow the input got switched to the microphone and it was picking up the sound from the speaker through the microphone. 
A couple of other things that I would look at would be making sure my bandwith is set to Wide FM @ 30khz and any noise filters are off. 
I'm sure you will trip across some little item and I have that Aha moment.

Yes, this is on a laptop. I have successfully received images on this
laptop for a couple of years.
