    Note: Colour saturation low because the "Black-and-White HRV is superimposed on the colour lores picture.

    Next pictures are all received with the HRPT/CHRPT/PDUS decoder.

    For most pictures just 2 software programs are used:
    1. DOS-program HRPT.EXE
    2. Unix program XV, only to translate to JPEG
    The Sahara picture is also received with the HRPT.EXE program, but a different program is used to combine received channels into a colored picture.

    The Spain picture is colored with the new wsat program (Linux).

    See also Wil Pfeifer's home page with more pictures recorded with this decoder.
