Skyroof v1.44

[Joseph Moore]

Alex,

Just want to congratulate you, sir, for this excellent software. Now
using v1.44 and just captured THREE excellent SSTV images from RS-18S,
ALL in one pass!  These are the most perfect images I've captured!  Two
images are seen in this video,

And the first image of this pass is in a different YouTube video:

Thanks!

Thank you for the videos! In the description text you mention that you used  Soundmodem by UZ7HO. I am wondering what you used it for.

[Joseph Moore]

You are right!  I no longer use the soundmodem, except for telemetry from some satellites that Skyroof won't decode.  But for SSTV, I'm now using ONLY the Skyroof!!

Here is an example of a telemetry reception that Skyroof does not decode.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmNcfqxO5SQ   This is a new satellite just launched on 07 July, 2026, and pass over my area just minutes ago.  Skyroof says "Format Not Supported".   So that is why I still use some of the UZ7HO soundmodems!  It is a bit more trouble to use them, so I hope Skyroof will be able to receive and decode telemetry from almost any sat!!

SkyRoof does not decode this transmitter because it does not know what framing is used. You told Soundmodem what parameters to use, and you have to do the same in SkyRoof: click on the gear button and select AX25G3RUH in the Framing field, then see if decoding starts.

[Joseph Moore]

Oh!  I was not aware of that gear button....had not used it before. I actually thought it was automatic.  On July 14, it decoded satellite Kostka automatically.   Both of those sats were launched the same day and appear to use the same framing, etc, so I just thought the satellite CloudCT-Precursor would also decode automatically!   That's what I get for thinking when I'm not used to it, hehehehe!!!!

The SatNOGS database is a great resource, but it is crowd-sourced, so some details are missing or wrong.. Modulation parameters that SkyRoof extracts from this database are mostly correct, but sometimes a manual correction is needed to get signals decoded. If you find a correction, consider submitting it on the SatNOGS web site! FAQ in User's Guide explains how.

Hi ...

Here's a table of a few sats that or does not had framing info or the baud rate was not correct at the SatNOGS database. I was playing with those info at the telemetry override resource.

I proposed a couple of edits / transmitter additions but I don't know how long the admins take to aprove or deny.
