Spurred on by my recent success with the Amateur Radio Linux laptop, I installed QSSTV and now have Slow Scan TV working!
At least, I can reliably receive images and Hamlib sends the transceiver the right incantations.
By the time I'd figured out the image editor to make templates the 20 metre propagation had just about gone, so I'll try to respond to a CQ call tomorrow.
Always something new to try in this game.
I'm a touch nervous about the extended TX times of some modes - advice welcome!
