Hey, i should recommend to use the same recording config (noaa.sh) for ISS record. Tested in the morning and was a working great. 20181029-0542_ISS-SSTV.mp3.zip iss1

Congratulations on the nice SSTV image! :+1:

I don't fully understand what config do you mean? Could you please send the config you used for that? Which software did you use for the mp3 to image conversion?

SA7BNT commented 5 years ago

I was just running the noaa.sh instead of the iss_voice.sh in the autowx2_config.py See pic below I did not convert to MP3. Took the wav from the noaa rec. map and run it in Multiscan 3B SSTV https://www.qsl.net/kd6cji/ Was working absolutely great for me.

Ok, so then it depends on what you are trying to achieve. For recording of voice transmission, I would stay with mp3. For further decoding, like SSTV, wav is better. I will try to modify iss.sh to give these two options.

Fixed in 9abe2d9. Now there is an option in iss_voice.sh to select mp3 or wav destination. Please test! :wrench:

I have decided to do it another way: there are two separate modules:

and it is configured on the level of autowx2_conf.py.
