Second SSTV signal at 10,000 petameters

Recommended Posts

It is well known that there's a Duna pyramid that makes an SSTV signal(sound that can be made into image).

Three years ago, it was found by @Holo that if you go 10,000 peta meters from kerbol, another signal appears.  @holo was unable to do it again.  It is possible it only works once per install- so have recording software ready.  It also must be an actual vessel, not a part ejected by a bug.

This has been covered already I think. It turned out to just be a game bug not a signal.

There are plenty of bugs to be found on Voyager-type missions. I'm guessing there are limited protections from overflow errors in either Unity or KSP or both.
I get persistent graphical corruption from switching to an extreme-distance ion probe that did a solar slingshot maneuver 200 game years back. Requires restart.

So how does an average player take that signal and convert it to an image.

And,going the other way, how could someone take an image and convert it into a signal like that for use in the game?

It might happen if the average player is old and/or geeky enough to have dabbled with SSTV encoding/decoding ;)

Debian has a bunch of metapackages for Ham radio stuff. Qsstv is where I'd start for sstv.
