 Experiment and see what works for you
+===== Hints and tips =====
+  * Experiment locally. Use your encoder and decoder together before ever including the radio. Record the output and replay it to decode. Test the sample file on [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow-scan_television#Media | Wikipedia ]]. Once the audio paths are working, start incorporating a radio.
+  * On Android, SSTV Encoder has an option for picking "Favourites" from the phone gallery. Mark photos you'd like to send so you can select them quickly and easily.
+  * The Discord server has a #rx-captures channel for showing off your results.
