FAQ
What is Robot72 used for?
Robot72 is used to decode slow-scan television (SSTV) audio into images and to send your own photos as SSTV signals. It's particularly useful for receiving images from ham radio transmissions and the International Space Station (ISS).
How does Robot72 decode SSTV images?
You can hold your iPhone near a radio's speaker to decode live SSTV audio, or load a WAV recording from your files. The app automatically detects the VIS header, selects the correct mode, and reconstructs the image line by line.
Can I send my own photos with Robot72?
Yes, you can select a photo, choose the desired SSTV mode, add a caption, and play it through your device's speaker or a cable connected to your radio. The Pro version also allows exporting the audio as a WAV file.
Does Robot72 have ads?
Robot72 contains advertisements. You can watch short, non-personalized rewarded videos up to three times a day to unlock saving, sharing, or sending pictures in modes beyond Robot 36 and Robot 72 in the free version.
What are the differences between the free and Pro versions of Robot72?
The free version allows decoding and viewing all modes, and saving/sending Robot 36 and Robot 72 with a watermark. Robot72 Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks all modes, removes the watermark, and adds WAV audio export.
How accurate are the ISS pass predictions?
ISS pass predictions are calculated on your iPhone using CelesTrak orbital data, providing peak elevation and direction for the next 48 hours. Your location data is not uploaded, ensuring privacy.
