Weather Images and Text via SSB Radio

[@andrewgoodridge2655]

To connect a laptop to your ssb to receive Sailmail emails for weather forecast texts, do you need a Pactor modem?

I am not sure but to receive weather fax on your hf radio you need a lead to go from your Radio headphone jack to the mic input of your laptop. I used to do it. You also download a programme like JVComm32 PC-Based HF Weather fax. It is cheap and free. Only problem is that less stations are sending out weather fax but i still think there is enough to cover the world.

Check also BBN Marine OS for raspberry pi4. Many free and opensource boat software packages preinstalled and preconfigured. It has many SSB and HAM programs preinstalled

So no Ios formats?
