SSTV How to Decode on an Android Phone with Robot36 App!
Просмотров 24День назад
Decoding SSTV with an Android Phone using Android app Robot36. NOTE: I am using an Arrow antenna and following the Satellite. Also my HT has Opengd77 firmware that follows the doppler. On 2m the doppler frequency shift isn't that bad but following it does help! If you are just using a vertical antenna and you dont follow the doppler you won't get as good if images as I am!

    Which radio are you using? Is it full duplex?

    • @w8cptCptDon
      @w8cptCptDon 28 дней назад

      @veritasweasel TYT UV-390 with OPENGD77 Firmware. It's not full duplex but the OPENGD77 tracks the doppler. Full duplex is not very useful on FM Satellites. I have a Kenwood TS-2000 in my shack with a Sarctrac Rotor and the only time I hear myself back is when it's straight overhead. I've made over 1000 FM Satellite QSOs just fine without full duplex. You just have to be courteous and only tx when you can hear people well and try not to key up over others....

  • @EverettVinzant
    @EverettVinzant Месяц назад

    They use a water based glue to make it waterproof (IP67)? How absurd is that claim? If water based glue gets wet, what do you suppose happens? I’ve done radio repair for decades in the Army, how about they trust me? I guess I’d ask something like this… “It’s good to know you used glue instead of rubber gaskets to seal the body of the radio. How often do I need to have the glue reapplied to maintain the IP67 rating since it’s obvious it’s going to get hard and crack?” What you are doing is painting them in a corner. Either they are lying about the glue, or they are lying about the rating (it’ll fail within a short amount of time). Water has been SEALED inside your radio and will corrode the electronics. Where else can it go? It doesn’t just disappear. OR, if water can get out, it can get in…
