F.M. setting for receiving SSTV signals

[dragon48]

To pick up SSTV signals on the F.M. bands, such as the recent International Space Shuttle broadcast at 145.8000, should my scanner be set to NFM or WFM?

start w/ WFM, since you're not listening for voice.

SSTV is just audio tones, in this case sent over normal FM ham radio. I don't know exactly what equipment they have on the space station but it most certainly is not WFM, that's only good for the 88-108 MHz broadcast band. If you are listening on a scanner set it to FM first and if the audio is too low use NFM.

Wide FM is what amateur radio uses. 5 kz deviation. Narrow is what part 90 business band uses now. 2.5 kHz deviation. Broadcast is not factored in this equation.

This applies to a radio transceiver.

What you say applies to a scanner or rtlsdr device.
