I have tried on a few occasions to receive SSTV images from various satellites. I have had mixed results. In this attempt, the result was quite bad. I am posting the decoded image and the audio below. If someone could figure out the reason for the failure, please contact me. I would be grateful.
Grid square: MK87ki
Radio: Baofeng UV-5R
Antenna: Rubber ducky

Audio
Got a similar distorted image using RObot36, similar to the one below.
Using the SSTV decoder in PC, I got the following:
[sstv] Searching for calibration header... 110.6s
[sstv] Couldn't find SSTV header in the given audio file
Attempt 2

Recorded audio
I used this SSTV decoder and got the following:
[sstv] Searching for calibration header... Found!
...
ValueError: SSTV mode is unsupported (VIS: 18)
Then I used the Robot36 app and got the following image:
I will try with a Yagi and maybe recording through audio cable instead of playing through radio.
I got good results with UMKA-1, but here I am unable to get. What might be the reason?
Updates
T. S. Prasad VU3YFD suggested MMSSTV and RX-SSTV software. I am very thankful for his help.
MMSSTV didn’t produce good output. But, RX-SSTV gave me the images that I wanted.
