From Practial Wireless October 1984 Page 38: "SSTV via the 48K Spectrum Scarab Systems announce that they are now marketing an SSTV Receive Program, which should prove of particular interest to our computer oriented readers, who possess a Sinclair 48K Spectrum home computer. This brand new program allows the 48K Spectrum to decode SSTV transmissions, whilst requiring absolutely no additional hardware, other than an appropriate radio receiver. Basically, once the program is loaded into the Spectrum and audio tones fed to the EAR socket, the computer will then decode the SSTV signal and display the picture onto either a TV receiver or standard Sinclair printer. Other program features include: up/down scrolling; user adjustable grey scale and sync; save picture to tape; recall picture from tape; help menu; input analysis routine; fully machine coded; recall last picture from memory; memory and screen wipe; negative picture display; and selectable border colour."
