Weather Images and Text via SSB Radio

Describes use of a SSB radio and laptop computer with modem and email software to request and receive weather forecast images and text on your boat when far out at sea. Includes a description of the NOAA source files and how to access them plus the use of Sailmail for this purpose. All of the procedures described can also be used with any satellite communicator, such as IridiumGo or Inmarsat, with email capability.

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

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

So no Ios formats?
