I had a similar issue when I first started downloading SSTV, and if I recall correctly I believe it was because I had the input audio set way too high (I cranked it down to just about no audio to get a clear pic). If you have downloaded pictures before from HF and have had success at your preset audio levels, then I doubt that is the issue.

Yes, audio feed is direct as with all digi modes I operate. Just had a pass of ARRISat-1 of 45 degrees plus over head. The downlink into my M2 5 element yagi @ 35 degrees elevation was S-9 plus 10db. A very good (great) signal. 2 times during the pass the SSTV was transmitted. During neither of them did the program initialize and copy anything. Partway through the 2nd transmission I forced it into RX Robot-36. All that occured was for it to stop after about 5 seconds. Again nothing decoded....frustrating to say the least. I'd like to get 1 photo...HI. Using the exact same setting I have had several QSO's now on HF sending and receiving very clear photos. Not sure what else to try.
