README.md

slowrx

Slowrx is an SSTV decoder for Linux that aims for intuitive simplicity and lack of features not needed by a shortwave listener.

Created by Oona Räisänen OH2-250 (windyoona at gmail).

Features

Support for a multitude of modes (see modespec.c for a list)
Detect frequency-shifted signals – no need to fine-tune the radio
Automatic slant correction (compensation for sound card clock error)
Adaptive noise reduction
Decode digital FSK ID
Save received pictures as PNG
Written in C99

Requirements

Linux
Alsa
Gtk+ 3.4
FFTW 3
pnglite

And, obviously:

shortwave radio with SSB
computer with sound card
means of getting sound from one to the other
