Easy and back to basics SSTV decoding program.

RXSSTV is a compact and user-friendly SSTV (Slow Scan Television) decoding program designed for SWLs (Short Wave Listeners) and HAM radio operators who want an easy-to-use tool for receiving and decoding SSTV signals. It is specifically tailored for users who do not require TX functionality, making it ideal for listeners and learners without a HAM license.

Key Features:

  • Automated Image Saving: RXSSTV automatically detects and saves received SSTV images in BMP or JPG format with adjustable compression quality.
  • Mode Detection: The program automatically identifies and decodes over 37 different SSTV modes, ensuring no image is missed regardless of the mode used.
  • DSP Support: Equipped with digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities for enhanced decoding performance under noisy conditions.
  • MMSSTV Engine Integration: Utilizes the powerful MMSSTV engine by JE3HHT Makoto Mori for robust and reliable SSTV decoding.
  • User-Friendly Design: Intuitive interface with no complex TX settings, making it accessible even to newcomers and young SWLs.
  • Signal Indicators: Includes a signal strength/quality meter and threshold control for optimal tuning.
  • Doppler Correction: Features a fast AFC mode to track signals with frequency shifts up to +/-20Hz per second, ideal for ISS SSTV reception.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for SWLs, HAM radio operators without TX needs, tech students, and enthusiasts interested in digital communications or receiving SSTV from the International Space Station (ISS). RXSSTV provides an accessible, no-frills solution for exploring the world of SSTV with minimal setup and a focus on ease of use. It is available as free software and can be installed via winget.
