I have this gem. It is quite remarkable. The interface allows for
connection of a telephone line, five radio or tape inputs, tape output,
radio audio and PTT outputs, and Amiga audio input. Black Belt Systems'
AVT_Master software comes with the interface and allows software
selectable control of the inputs. It will automatically determine the
mode of SSTV and display the received picture in B&W or Color (55
different SSTV modes). It also allows transmission between two AVT's of
high-res and HAM pictures in just 90 seconds with results that are
amazing. The nice thing about the package is AEA provides great support,
as well as Black Belts Systems. Ben Williams at BBS supplies free
updates of the software. I have recorded some excellent GOES weather
satellite images in grey-scale using this hardware.
