    What mode should be used? I tried to get the image sent in your video to show on an Android using Robot36 but it just didn't seem to come up.

    Its simplex and its limited locally and we used low power, so we kept it in an unused area... around here, that is very easy to find.

    146.40-146.58 Simplex
    147.42-147.57 Simplex

    I set Robot36 to "Scottie 1" mode and it got a pretty low quality image from the video. I think there is some compression/leveling happening in the youtube audio... but its a good "proof of concept" Try it out with your radio, even HF (try 14.230 on 20m I think)

    Thanks. I tried again with your video and got decent images. I will try it with a radio on the 20 meter sstv freq.

    Scottie 1 in robot 36, but you've got to have good speakers/be close for it to work

    That totally worked...I guess Robot36 auto mode is not the best...but i could decode the video no problem.

    Very good, nice to get to know the tech stuff, But you know what is more enjoyable to do with your kids, my opinion of coarse, is learn morse code with them and send messages back and forth using CW, my grand kids get a kick out of this.

    I’m pretty sure they do this already.

    Totally Agree. I've been learning CW for almost a year now and I'm still not even good at it. Leah, KD9LFZ is in the Long Island CW club's kids class where she's met some other kids her age. It's been an amazing journey!
