Hi Alex,
First: what a great software is SkyRoof!

Question: It has happened to me a few times that I missed an SSTV transmission because the system was set to data mode—which is also interesting to monitor.
Is it possible for SkRoof to automatically switch to SSTV decoding when an SSTV signal is detected, and vice versa when data is detected?
That would be great....

Regards,

The only way to detect SSTV transmission is to run the SSTV decoder all the time, and the same is true for telemetry I am experimenting with running multiple decoders in parallel but do not have a practical solution yet.

Hi Alex,
I realize this won't be easy, but given what you've already achieved with SkyRoof, I'm sure you'll pull it off ;-)
Good luck, in any case!
