Hi Erik Thanks for another informative video, I hadn't realised it was possible to click on "Center" or "Span" and then pan or zoom with the multi switch, very useful to know.
Mr. Erik, I ordered tinysa today. I hope it will be a product that I will like. I'm wondering about something right now. I will be glad if you answer; What settings do I need to adjust to detect a very weak fm rf in the 80mhz-130mhz range with a peak of 100mhz.
Basically nothing. Switch it on and leave the tinySA in low input mode and connect an adequate antenna. The supplied telescopic antenna may be good enough. For weak signals you may need to add a low noise amplifier between the antenna and the tinySA as the tinySA is a SA and not a receiver.
@@ahmetozdemir7173 Yes, that is what I said. So the sensitivity of the tinySA is optimized for a SA applications and not for receiving very weak signals
Very interesting! I learn new uses and tricks for my tinySA from all your videos! I think I need to purchase an adapter to be able to try this out! I have a few questions... 1. Is the use of an external attenuator recommended if connecting my home cable to the tinySA? Or are the signals typically below the levels that may damage it? I believe that I have a cable company installed amplifier installed where it comes into my house to boost the levels, so just curious about this. 2. Why are the local FM stations present in your cable feed? Is that typical in your area? I have not heard of this being the case in the US.
Hi Erik

Thanks, very good information. I have been using the tinySA for about a month now. Very useful tool. I have resolved several issues with it.
Excellent as usual. Thank you, Erik.
Very good
When you demonstrate the FM demodulation, where these 180kHz difference come from ?
Hi Erik. Many compliments for your TinySA. Is possible to verify the quality of the signal of the TV antenna in the television socket? If Yes, how??
If the signal has similar level as shown in the video it is ok

@@ErikKaashoek Isn't TinySA a spectrum analyzer?

@@ErikKaashoek Thanks for the answer. What do you mean by "SA application"?
@@ahmetozdemir7173 measuring a spectrum. Not receiving radio

No attenuator needed
Very good thank you Erik de zs5gmw
