I think most people, who own these Tiny SA gizmos, don't know what every feature is, or how to use them. They buy it for the one or two features they want to use it for, and thats all they every use it for! (Like tuning an antenna or checking spurious emmissions!)

[@MountainParameters]

In the mountains of western North America wildlife collars have largely transitioned to satellite, but many have retained dual capability wjth VHF for facilitating field use in real time as GPS data can be 6 hours old based on the upload interval (because uploads are hard on battery life). As most bears nowdays only receive a collar if they mis-behaved near town, now you have the potential to go for a backcountry hike and if you see some wildlife sign, switch on your Tiny SA and see if there are any potential bad actors in your vicinity.

I bought a spectrum analyser for business use in 1984, which cost me £6500.00. The sort of stuff that is out there today is far more convenient and easy to use. The only advantage the forty year old stuff has is the front end attenuators and calibration, having said that, I've not used it in twenty years. For £77 I might just treat myself.

If you will definitely be able to make use of it, I actually have this exact SA but I inadvertently ended up with 2 identical units after ordering one and 2 wks post estimated delivery date, I reported it not arriving and was sent a replacement which arrived via complimentary express delivery. Fast forward nearly 7-8 weeks, the original one arrived. I only opened it to confirm what it was but nothing beyond that and would love it to get into the hands of an active enthusiast. My dad and brother will be traveling to England in mid April for business, and I could have them ship it domestically within the UK to you. Im not big on selling stuff via eBay or Craigslist etc but with this sort of thing, gifting it to an internet stranger with an interesting anecdote sounds good to me lol.

[@Jennifer-007]

Great video, a couple of tips for you (and others).... these things are super sensitive to front end blow out when hooking up an outside antenna that may have static build up, suggest grounding your antenna center conductor to ground prior to hooking up to the Ultra.. also, suggest swapping out that SO-239/SMA adapter to a pigtail of the same genders, hanging that heavy adapter AND the cable and it's PL-259 off the SMA is asking for a snapped SMA. Also, I'd be a bit more careful about keying up a portable like you did the Icom so close to the unit, same reasons, you'll blow out the front end, especially in light of the fact I didn't see you turn off the LNA.. sure, you may be on an external antenna but that's a plastic case and you don't have any attenuation inline if it also came down the coax... thanks for the great video....

Most scanners front ends were so cheaply made you didn't need 900MHz to listen to cellular. Just tuning through 400MHz and upwards would allow you to listen to cellular. Incidentally, I was asked to move on when I was auditing freqs from a football club. The massive spike I saw on the screen was the security bloke calling his boss to say there was a bloke with something outside the gate. On being approached he asked me to step over the building line as I was bringing the club into disrepute. My reply asked if that was the same level of disrepute the supporters curried when they lost the game? I stood the other side of the non existent building line for 15m and then left. The bloke was vacuous and did not understand my explanation of what I was showing him.

Try looking around 20MHz. If I'm right the visiting ET scout craft in the 15 meter diameter size will have a main tone around 20MHz and complex upper harmonics. They use field propulsion instead of jets or rockets and it seems that part of that is electromagnetically activating the surface and at very significant power levels. Because even modest power radio travels very far these ET craft could be detectable at extreme distances when zipping about or in hover mode. They should be recognizable because the tone wont contain audio, video or digital. It should just be a very steady tone. With triangulation we could pinpoint them and determine speed. The frequency should strictly correspond to size of the craft.

300 pounds UK price.. yum yum

I got one of these (different name, same device) for Christmas a couple years ago and it is awesome.

[@TheMW2informer]

What’s with the clickbait, almost fear mongering thumbnail and title? It’s not like SDRs are some ‘secret’ “THEY” (whoever they are) don’t want you to know! Sorta gives the hobby a bad name.

[@JeffersonsTreeHouse]

Sounds like something a fed would say.

Where are you getting them for 100 quid Andy even on Ali they are more than that. If it's 100 take my money 😂

I was into scanning way back in the early 2000. Now I have returned and regret selling all my CB and Radio scanners. But wow just look at how fast and how cheap everything is becoming and the hardest part is still learning the dam operating instructions for scanners :)

[@robgibbsofficial]

Great video Andy 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mike_5]

You sure have some in depth knowledge and skills in this subject Andy very interesting to watch & learn

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

Re legality, I believe the wording is that, in the UK, you are only allowed to listen to transmissions *intended for general reception*. ie not 'private communications'. Therefore, scanning is legal prima facie. Further, as private communications eg government emergency services, cell phones etc are encrypted, there is nothing to which to listen, and you wouldn't even be able to determine that they are private communications.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

Id love it if you could do videos on projects about how to use this, including scanning for hidden listening or viewing devices.

[@iamD2]

Go below 300hz and you will find your ansers for hidden things.

[@jimallen8238]

I think that disclaimer about illegal listening is U.K. specific. I’ve owned scanners since I was a kid and so did my dad and uncles. Shortwave, police and fire frequency scanning was a hobby for us here in the U.S. I guess I took it for granted that the is was true in other countries.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

This little tinySa Ultra is amazing I need to grab me one

[@brian.7966]

you are getting so excited Andy.

[@Cqdx11]

WOW just like my NanoVNA I need one of these! My other three SDR's will be jealous of being neglected when I get one of these. Certainly better then my cell Phone OTG with a sdr and battery built into a old VHS Tape plasic case.

[@sniperwolf1484]

Hi I'm waiting for my SA Mini To arrive. But thanks Andy for the video Very useful. Geff.👍

[@SmartGadgetShow]

I remember the days of being able to listen to emergency services on a NORMAL radio receiver back in the 1980s. Now it's encrypted.

[@chrissewell1608]

So, you could use this like a the old "frequecy counter", that instantly tells you a transmitter frequency in a local area. Ie. To find Bugs and now.. Blue Tooth trackers, and wireless cameras! Pretty handy mode in the Tiny SA, most people don't even know they have! 🔎

[@Sawrab_Samanta]

Oh man, the music is a banger!!! It gave me Armin Van Buuren vibes! Enjoyed it!

[@jamesstewart5797]

If you can receive it, you can listen to it. There is no law that says otherwise.

[@gunhed76]

i Live in NYC where they started to encrypt radios, but this would still be useful to me , def buying

[@kevinjudson557]

Just received my TinySA and love it. I worked for HP/ Agilent/ Keysight for almost 37 years on the test equipment side and I'm blown away by what your SA can do. It's quite easy to navigate and I do have a question though...I see a 3.5mm jack on the TinySA Ultra (which I do not have) but I do not see one on my unit. How do I listen to demodulated signals?

[@wes5150.]

The 'Ultra' model has the audio jack

[@RcCrawler-g2p]

When are you going to do videos on the new h4m and exactly what it can do?

[@jamesotisjr2322]

why I bought mine: when the OTA tv industry moved to digital TV back in 2009, TV stations were allowed to keep their channel number that was assigned back when a channel number was assigned to a specific 6 mhz band of frequencies. now, it is just a label. I have a CCTV system. 24 cameras, 4 each, on 6 DVRs. I put the output of these DVRs onto unused analog channels and distribute these through the house via a CATV system from a demolished apartment. problem: you can't tell if a channe; is set on a frequency used by a new user after the OTA channel moved out. The TVs are not capable of demodulating the unfamiliar signaL I use my tiny sa to determine if the anlog channel space is open before I set the channel in my Rf modulator, and avoid the aggravation caused by interference a secondary use is: take it to a truck stop to show CB users the actual effect of tweaking up a CB to put more fire in the wire. show that person that, in reality, there is more power going out, but not in the CB band where it belongs. think about this: do the golden screwdriver guys tell CB users to use bigger fuse, since they are inherently using more DC power to send more RF power?

[@MikeSmith-fe3ng]

Glad I found this channel. Always good content and entertaining. Keep up the great work. 73.

[@andykirby]

Thank you 😁👍🏼

[@boneharvester_eth4021]

Just reading the comment listening to the outro music 🔥

[@SarahC2]

I keyed my walkie talkie (5w) with the antenna on the Tiny unplugged. Not enough signal to damage the Tiny surely? Nope - I fried the signal generator (nothing on my oscilloscope), and the two receiver chips (crazy input noises). All that's left is the MCU and screen! lol. Don't Tx wattages near the Tiny! Even without an antenna. (I think the unshielded parts of the board acted as antennas through the plastic case... ooops) I later bought an attenuator.

[@michael-bell]

If that little device is 100 pounds, that's quite a heavy device. And I am very impressed with your ability to whip that heavy object around so effortlessly 😂

[@johnbrandolini2915]

Interesting video. I have an earlier version of the tiny SA. It doesn't have the bells and whistles yours does but it meets my needs. On the other hand I just replaced my nano VNA with a nano VNA-F and what a difference between the 2 units. Bigger screen, broader range up to 3 Ghz, and better user interface. Since I am an amateur licensee who like to experiment with antenna design it will come in handy. Back before I retired I worked in the defense industry I used HP VNAs and toward the end used an Agilent PNAx. This Nano VNA has a lot of the same functionality but at a fraction of the cost. Maybe you could do a video about it and how it is used in antenna analysis. 73 de N1ABE >>

This is a spectrum analyzer, not a vector network analyzer.
