QUICK USE

If you have a handy transceiver, the steps given here will allow you to try SSTV with your friend right away.

Note: To correctly receive or transmit images, you and your friend have to select the same SSTV mode. If you prefer using a mode other than Robot (color) 36 which is the factory default, see “SELECTING A SSTV MODE” {page 7} and “RECEIVING IMAGES” {page 10}.
