Great video - I bought one of these and I'm just starting to learn how to use it - This series of videos are very educational - Thanks! - Cheers! Very handy miniature portable tool! I had an engineer friend over and they commented that these cost over $100K in the lab at the office.
I own both the original Tiny SA & the ULTRA version as well. You mentioned the comparison to your HP service monitor (I have a Motorola R-2001); with the signal generator function, these inexpensive little devices incorporate the 2 functions which initially made service monitors so expensive! (The spectrum analyzer & synthezied signal generator. I decided to keep the original Tiny SA after buying the ULTRA version; it comes to hamfests with me as a quick means to check out potential receiver or transceiver purchases. 😊 I’ve recently used the ULTRA to check out a 2.3 GHz. “tech special” transverter I acquired VERY cheaply; found it receives well, & although the PA is dead, it’s at least transmitting properly at the drive level. I haven’t played with the PC app yet, but after seeing your walk-through of it, am definitely going to give it a try.
Hayden, this is a good video for including people that are not already subscribing. A lot of HAMs are familiar with this, but there are noobs to the electromagnetic spectrum from other disciplines that will find this fascinating. I think it is good to cast a wide net.
i use mine all the time, for my purposes it works great. It has given me access to frequency domain at a price im willing to pay as a hobbiest rebuilding old radios. By the way Signal generator works great too.
I can see several differing use cases for one of these in my kit. Tracking interference is definitely one. The other is finding radio networks for scanning emergency and other services. I wonder if it has facilities for identifying a ctcss tone on a signal as well?
I have, likely a knock off, a nano vna. I have been seriously considering upgrading to the actual Tiny SA. Now, I have to think about the Ultra which adds roughly another $145 to the $80 of the Tiny SA. I'll have to look up the differences or just let my Ham piggy bank decide for me. Thanks for the demo of the Ultra.
i just bought one of the ultras 2 weeks ago and it was 125 EUR compared to 80 EUR for non ultra. Scince I was only buying one and it will properbly last a long time on me, i think its worth the extra,. Also I bought a NanoVNA-H4 vector network analyser for 75 EUR together with it. Thats 200 EUR for all you could whish for.

Love my ultra. Part of my permanent bit of kit for a quick scam and see.
Great video thanks Hayden. I am always amazed at what this great little device is capable of.
Thanks Darrin
Ive used one. Works pretty great for looking for signals that could potentially interfere if your doing a simple RF analysis.
Very cool! I love that waterfall feature too, who knew? Lol

I don’t think the TinySA would be able to demodulate or decode CTCSS
More good stuff to buy!

I'm interested in using one with a handheld log periodic or yagi to track down power line noise....
My Aldam Pluto goes from 70 MHz to 6 Ghz, I use SDR Angel to Listen and view Video!
Off topic: is AT-D878UVII Plus a good handheld radio? I have the budget & foundation license (Sydney AU).
LiFi ?
It goes higher than 5.3ghz, much higher. Just need a better antenna than that telescopic
I wish you have done it with an actually affordable non-Ultra version. It's C$82 compared to C$280. It's fine for THIS purpose.
Okay

Q : Can you tell weather AM or FM ??
it has functions to measure both.
@@mp-ov9dh Excellent 👍🏻 Thank you 😃✨
I love my Tiny SA Ultra, found a spike in the 1.6 ghz range that I suspect is my commie loving neighbor communicating with his contact.
