[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1046451, member: 176362"] To get the pretty "BBC weather forecast pictures" you need to change a few options in WXtoImg. Go to Options - Auto Processing. Tick Create Images then click on the Image Setting button next to it. At the very least you want the 4 x [B]HVC [/B] items highlighted. You can play with the other stuff later :D [ATTACH=full]116043[/ATTACH] In WXtoImg click on File - Record - Auto Record & down the bottom it will tell you what the next satellite is & what its frequency is . Tune SDR# to that frequency & sit back & wait. DONT get too impatient - it will auto start after the pass starts - you will pick up a weak signal to begin with but we have the first part of the pass ignored if you remember :) Once the pass has completed the WXtoImg s/w will do some processing then in the [B]saved images tab [/B]you will find whatever its been instructed to make. Check the next pass down the bottom of WXtoImg main page and reset SDR# [/QUOTE]
