Slow Scan Television history, mode timing and receiving notes from a UK listener's bench.

Watch a known signal turn into a picture, then try the same recording. No radio is needed.

Lite 2.0: 3 free SSTV or Weather Fax receives.

A use is counted when a supported mode is identified, even if reception does not finish. Watching the demo here costs no receives.

Already receiving? Get Pro: SSTV Signal Desk for the full app with a one-time purchase. Read the trial and unlock rules.

What lives here

Reference-first documentation

The docs lead with history, mode families, timing comparisons, and per-mode pages rather than assuming one decoder or one operating style.

Waveforms to replay

Compare a known test card with your own recording. The sample library includes analog SSTV, SSDV packets, DRM image services and Weather Fax line-rate strips.

UK operating viewpoint

Notes are written from a UK listener's bench, with public satellite events, HF compatibility modes, and practical receiving setups kept in the same index.
