One very important thing to mention is that 145.500 MHz is the 2m calling frequency in Europe. Don't use that frequency for anything but voice in the eu
Thanks for showing SSTV over 2 meter radio! By the way, at 4:57 you mention it's not a perfect image. One additional thing which will help to clean up the image would be to use an audio cable between the smartphone and the radio. Stay safe and 73 de W3DJS in Dacula, GA.
@@markhuisinga1698 You can, I'm looking into this now, there are some circuits on how to do this and it'd certainly save on finger strength required...
@@markhuisinga1698 You can, get the BTECH cable (about $20 on Amazon), set the VOX level (I use 10), and make sure your volume on the phone is turned up. One think I'll note is my UV-5R's VOX is not sensative and won't work, however my other Baofengs like the UV-82 and GT-3WP work perfectly. I suspect its more an issue with that one radio.
Another option for just receiving SSTV is to use WEBSDR and for IOS BlackCat has CQ SSTV. Works relatively easy and for HF 20M is a good place to start at 14.230, when the bands are open.
Don't forget to ask if the frequency is in use and identify with your call sign before transmitting. This will keep the FCC happy :) Great video, as usual!
I'm trying to record the audio with a cell phone and play it back to the same application without sending it through a radio and having very poor quality and a ton of complete failures. Not understanding why this doesn't work.
@@ModernHam I have an ATS-20 that I am trying to use by patching the headphone jack directly into my computer. I am not doing something correctly as my computer doesn't seem to "hear" the radio
It doesn't really matter what frequency you are sending it on as long as you can hear it on the other radio. Feel free to use your favorite frequency, tune your receiving radio to same frequency and before sending make sure the frequency is free and silent at that time. Do not send pictures which contain something private because anyone who overhears it can decode it and view the picture
Aww sweet, another video. I am waiting on my APRS cable from btech. But that and a Nagoya 320 (the tri band 771) are on back order sadly so it my be weeks untill it even ships... I have tried phone to phone and it was pretty cool!
@@ModernHam yeah I hope so too, unfortunately I still haven't unable to take my technician exam. I got in touch with my local club and they said they need a second examiner to grade the test. And if they find one they have a restricted access building but I could take the test in, with coivd 19 and all that. So here's hoping they find someone, 73 dude!
btw i transmited a channel via cable that serves as transmitter antenna as cable connected to source placed to somewhere i get good results then bad result tried small circle U shape and big one and it didnt incresase
Cell service doesn't play a role in this. You can use any old phone with no sim and no service. The phones are just computers running the SSTV software.
Legally you have to identify yourself every 10 minutes, This does not have to be in the image, it can be CW, and still yet, you only have to do it in one image per 10 minutes. However, it is a good idea to because that's kind of the standard. My call sign is in every picture on the video on the top left side.

If you use an audio cable cant you use the vox function also?

Thats awesome man. Thanks for making this video. I was looking for a more portable way to do this.

Great video, I love that app, There is an audio cable to connect the phone directly to your baofeng and it works great with the app
Does the radio have to be on and next to the phone device when you’re recieveing an image or can you just have the phone device on by itself?
Don't forget to ask if the frequency is in use and identify with your call sign before transmitting. This will keep the FCC happy :) Great video, as usual!
Forgot to mention this! Thank you.
Awesome video. I'm in an area with no digpeater for Aprs. Do you have a video to set one up at home?
Can an aprs cable be used for this too?

Nice hat
do i need a callsign if i only want to receive/decode ?
liked and subscribed ‼️
Would it work if you used an elastic band to hold down the push to talk button?
What antenna is on you’re ft3 please
fun stuff. :-) ve9 from Canada
I have a shortwave receiver. Is it possible to use that with my computer to download the slow scan images?
Sure is!
@@ModernHam So far I have not figured out how to get the aux speakers to input into my sound card. I am perhaps just retarded

What kind of antenna is on that ft3d
What frequency range do you use for SSTV on 2m? I didn't hear it on the video. 73 KE0OAP
It would be in the 2m data portion i would think
145.600,145.500

@@andrewhamop6665 73! Hope they can get something worked out for you.
and can we make a sstv video of like 5 fps or 3 fps
can we use wifi to transmit the image
That's not the point of this video
are baofang bluetooth or something

uv5r is really cheap and useful
You got a humanoid labrador dog ?
Yes
Yeah, that is going to be a really handy mode when cell towers go down. SMH
Probably not, but unfortunately for you it attracts young fresh blood into the hobby.

Remember you have to include your callsign in the image to stay legal.
