Look here for some free programs. http://www.muenster.de/~welp/sb.htm MMSSTV is a popular free program. Set your rig for USB and tune in the hams talking about the sstv. This should put you on frequency. There are many differant modes so you will have to see which one they are sending at the time. YOu may hear them say something like Scotty 1 or such. As with most sound card modes, for receiving you may be able to decode it just by holding the mic from the computer next to the receiver speaker if you are in a quiet location. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
