- | If you've looked into WEFAX reception before you may know that there are various different formats. Usually this relates to lines per minute. As you'd expect a lower line speed results in a potentially higher quality image, more resilient to noise. FLDigi allows you to select from a few different speeds, but 120 LPM will be absolutely fine and matches most (if not all) of the actual weather broadcast stations that you will hear on the bands. Regardless of line speed chosen it seems that the resulting image is always 1809 pixels wide, so it is important to make sure that your image is this wide otherwise FLDigi will do fill in the rest with white space (which you may be ok with!). The height of the image is up to you. Longer images take longer to send and will put more stress on your rig. The exercise of choosing a power output for sending an image is left to the reader - the resilience of your finals being the limiting factor. | + | If you've looked into WEFAX reception before you may know that there are various different formats.
