For Tom KB0ZRB...I think I used MMSSTV (a Windows prog) to decode the ISS transmission (graphic).? My best recollection is that i set the MMSSTV input for 'line in' and played the audio directly from the recorder (recorder headphone out to computer line in).? Another similar program on the computer is called RXSSTV and I might have payed around with that one as well.? Anyway, before the next BWRA meeting I'll run the thing again and make notes.? Take care,? Tim KD9KQY
