Wow, this is a nice feature! It sounds like the old times when I received wheaterforcasts with an old Alcoholpaper burner named Mufax. The building of the image was a very slow proces. You could even receive news photographs in that time. That was in the roaring 60's on a Dutch Navy Fregat. Great time.
It might help to understand that the wefax system was originally a simple mostly hardware system. The bar was to indicate the left edge of the fax on some printers you had to manually adjust the position of the page left to right. As a RO at sea I used a nagra fax machine connected to a normal receiver a Yasu FRG7 if my memory serves me. Between the CW weather broadcasts and Fax you could provide the bridge with a complete weather forecast at least once a day. Goes sat pictures are sent via Wefax by coast stations. The USCG stations provided good weather information.
One big thumbs up guy! Quick question though, how do I get my images to be white with black lines? Mine are all black with white lines so I need to do a reversal or something and can't figure out how. Thank you.
+Gilberto A. Rivera Typically, the radio will have an audio out connection, just run a cable to the line-in on the computer sound card and then select that line in FLDIGI as the audio source. Pretty much all the digital mode software programs work that way. So you can listen in on PSK, RTTY, Olivia, JT65 as well as slow scan TV, whatever.
I've been meaning to look up weather fax decoding for a while, thanks for this video.
fldigi is such a powerful piece of software. great that its free too
Your videos are informative and helpful. I had no idea something like this was available. Thank you.
That's what I am here for !

Awesome video. I'll have to try this.
Many thanks for this. I have been struggling but you have cleared up a number of things

cool !
Great video, lots of good detail. Thanks! 73
Pro tip: since the fax was non greyscale black and white, you can turn on "Bin" to remove the fuzzy noise
Very helpful - thanks for posting. 73

Can you tell me where the picture went when it disappeared off the screen is it stored somewhere thank you so much
can you do it with wxtoimg program
I am desperate, I cannot correct the very heavy slanting, what can I do?
Why slant isn't there anymore?
Very good video, clearly explained. I just have one question. The image disappear after the fax. How can I save it before it disappears? Thanks.
There is a option in the program for autosave, it creates a folder where they all go to
@@OfficialSWLchannel Thanks.
Do you think there is someone still using meteo fax?
Would this work on my kenwood ts520s?
YES! with the freq/fidigi
The red lines won't stay where I put them. Edit: Found it - had AFC on.
Man! I spent hours trying to figure that out. Thanks!!
How do you get the signal received on the radio to the software?

@@inkt9b you could also use websdr.org and direct the audio to fldigi
It's a format called Baud dot cod psi, or phase shift keying, right? Licensed general class for eight out of 14 years.
minor clarification. The term is Baudot, and the acronym is PSK.
It's weather not weder........;-)
+Craig Diamond I guess that you speak very perfect english. Don't be a nit picking dope.
