Has anyone here ever done SSTV from an Icom 5100? If so, how did you setup for transmit and receive?

@K0TX did it with a different radio here:

> While using [MMSSTV software](https://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php) here is what worked for triggering PTT by RTS. Obviously your Digirig’s COM port may be different number (COM4 here). Don’t forget to adjust TOT setting (transmit timeout) on your radio if you stop sending halfway.

There is a [Getting Started with Digirig Mobile – digirig](https://digirig.net/getting-started-with-digirig-mobile/) which is good.

i’ve used droidsstv with an icom t90  
just plain fm  
sstv over fm is tolerant enough to just hold the droidsstv phone/tablet next to the radio spk/mic

the brain can recognize the picture pretty well even with a little ‘noise’

ssb decodes are just as easy without wires.  
tx on ssb usually gets under driven without a direct connection.

so with a wired connection, the volume of the radio around ‘halfway’ or a little under.  
the volume of the sstv generating device, maybe 25% or a bit under.  
should get you in the ballpark.  
the radio, using spk/mic, will emph/de-emph that is pretty forgiving.

also used a vc-1 from kenwood with numerous radios but that’s cheating these days 🙂
