ISS images can be captured using a handheld radio in FM mode tuned to 145.800 and Android app called DroidSSTV or Robot36. You don’t need any cables, so long as you are in a quiet environment the radio’s speaker can be picked up by the phone’s microphone to capture the image. You might find you need to adjust frequency from 145.795 to 145.805ish to get the strongest and loudest signal.
Have fun!
