Ahmet Inan and his wife, Olga Miller, have teamed up to develop some very nice open source SSTV software for Android devices.

Olga has written the "SSTV Encoder" while Ahmet wrote the SSTV Decoder named, "Robot36 - SSTV Image Decoder".

Ahmet says he would like to keep the name Robot36 even though the app is able to decode more than just the Robot36 as a great respect for the Robot engineers who developed the awesome Robot36 mode.
It currently supports the following modes:

  • Robot Modes: 36 & 72
  • Martin Modes: 1 & 2
  • Scottie Modes: 1, 2 & DX
  • Wrasse Modes: SC2 180

"Robot36 - SSTV Image Decoder" is available for free on Google Play and also via GitHub.

The page also features a link to its D-STAR YouTube Channel where you will find tips and tricks for some of Icom’s latest D-STAR radios.

The support section also features a link to three forums set up for registered users to participate in. The three current forums are D-STAR (GB7IC), D-STAR (General) and D-STAR (Technical). There is also a link to other international forums as well as a link to a list of useful international D-STAR websites.

“We have been very busy preparing repeater lists for various Icom D-STAR radios so that our customers can come to the site to download appropriate information for their radios. Customers should also find the videos that we have added to our YouTube channel very useful.”
