I have been up to my neck in work these past few months, with little to no computer time, but given I have some spare time this weekend, I was thinking about possibly playing around with the idea of television on the CB. Possibly setting up a fast-scan system, the CB is will adapted given the bandwidth and typical AM operation which is fine for no-voice TX but I am just thinking, what is the point is no one else has anything going so I am wondering if anyone has actually experimented with TV?
Has anyone ever experimented sending regular pictures over the cb? To RX there is a bunch of software on the net and you would just have to plug your CB's speaker cable into your PC to decode the still images [Please login or register to view this link] <-software, some is free!
I might consider TXing some pictures in the future.... just for the hell of it if anyone is around to watch hahaha.

RTTY... haha, I know a few people who would say "wtf is that beeping buzzing noise! someone broke their radio" lol.
Good when skip is up! Then it would be more fun than just voice, TX is a little harder than RX but most people could do RX if they had a CB and computer. So the population of people who could do it would be much larger.
This is the first picture I would send with the handle... [Please login or register to view this link] LOL
Yeah, but there is no point in really playing with files and stuff, like FSK/RTTY on the CB band is a bad idea when the internet exists. Unless you already have the equipment it is more like one of those things you would do just because you could. I just had the idea of video since it adds another element but I was thinking people probably would not have the RX equipment so SSTV would be a much better idea, then you could use you handles/signs and send pictures! =)I know some hams who send files via radio, dont know about pix but seams like if you can send data pacs via a comp you should be able to send other types of data.
