Truly impressive. When I was a tech we had an HP 8566B, that was a powerful beast.

Performance looks surprisingly good. Pretty low noise floor with an ok sweep speed. Didnt notice any spurs anywhere.

Neat! You can buy so much functionality for so little money these days. My collection of RF gadgets includes a Nano VNA and a TinySA (three guesses where I heard about them... 😛), plus a "real" spectrum analyzer (Tektronix 2712, bought surplus from my employers).

Thanks for reviewing this!

With a track gen you can use this to set a duplexer or filters. It’s amazing how much you can get for under $200. Five years ago it would be several thousand for a cheap service monitor.

How does the SA6 compares to TinySA Ultra ?

@lohikarhu734 2 ай бұрын

With 10 dBm maximum input, they really should include a 10 dB attenuator, as so many devices are >+13 dBm

Does this record? The reason I ask is going to sound a bit out there... but could theoretically be used as an off the shelf way to analyse the jamming signals coming out the new Russian drone jammers they are fitting to tanks and apcs in the Ukraine?

Hi thanks for the video. I think this would be handy for the VHF ham when you have set up for a field day I have one question how do you get the video up on computer screen. Thank you Gary vk2kyp

by controlling device using software as mention in the video maybe

An Arinst copy. Mine is also 4.1.0 Device ID is 3997737. My Bluetooth slider also turns on but nothing detects a BT client. I think they are Chinese clones of the Russian original. Still useful and better range than Tiny Ultra

@robust5615 Ай бұрын

me too ..device id is the same like yours ..

@Soundfactory24 2 ай бұрын

Interesting, but since the frequency range only starts at 35 MHz, this is not a device for me. I'm keeping the Tiny SA Ultra

Hi does the tiny sa ultra interface with the pc the same? I do like the big screen and mouse option

@Soundfactory24 2 ай бұрын

Hi, unfortunately I cannot answer the question. I have always used the Tiny SA standalone. There are certainly users who can give an answer - or take a look at the Tiny SA homepage?

Hackrf with portapack can do the same and has more fuction.

Maybe so but for under 200 bucks to be able to have a spectrum analyzer and tracking generator is huge.

Interesting, but not a fan of some of the issues you encountered when implementing using it. Especially the need to downgrade Java in order to have compatability.

@johnnorth9355 2 ай бұрын

I have just got a nano vna - does what I need re SWR but it is a pain in the backside to use (and refuses to save settings). I guess that's the price I pay for being poor ?

Are you sure it doesn’t have Bluetooth? Bluetooth devices don’t always show just looking in Bluetooth devices….like lora boards for Meshtastic don’t. Pairing is initiated from in an app and after that they appear in the Bluetooth devices list.

I thought that too, but with the Android app no devices were found. I even used a BLE scanner, nothing…

@sigaretter Ай бұрын

@@fmtvus well of course there will be no rusian parts, same as in their cruise missiles, except for minority of those ancient soviet logic chips and old stm32 clones. the point is it’s obviously made in china but arinst designs, orders and sells it. in this case i suspect they removed the brand logo to evade sanctions. look at arinst sa series, you’ll be surprised how familiar it is 😉

@@jamesjrossthere’s no need for that as there’s plenty of trophy rusian jammers of all flavors. typically they use chinese COTS VCOs from aliexpress that generally produce a triangle wave and it’s not really effective when used against FPVs controlled by ELRS (LoRa)
