Using a tinySA Ultra to tune FM deviation

[@johnwest7993]

Thank you. Every one of these demo videos adds to the worth of my TinySA. Its versatility is impressive.

[@g0fvt]

It has many years since I had to set up deviation on microwave link systems, thank you for the refresher on Bessel functions.

[@davidbuchanan1440]

Yes many many years ago, I also used Bessel null to set microwave TX deviation.

The SA6 is a scalar 35MHz-6GHz network analyzer where the tinySA Ultra is a true spectrum analyzer, you can not compare them

[@marceloLoschiBH]

Hello! Congratulations on democratizing access to the spectrum analyzer! I intend to embark the analyzer on a drone. Do you have the hardware version without the screen? Thanks!

[@ErikKaashoek]

No, but it is possible to slowly lift the lcd from the PCB and open the flat cable connector to remove the lcd

[@johnwright2661]

I look forward to learning using the TSA4 ultra.

[@maxheadroom8677]

Erik - Is it possible to please send a demo unit for Dave of EEVblog who is in Australia?

[@riccardopapi5992]

Is this something we can possibly achieve with the former TinySa ?

[@ErikKaashoek]

No, the minimum rbw of the tinySA basic is 3kHz

[@FaunusOnYT]

​@@ErikKaashoek So it should work for 2 kHz Deviation (CB FM deviation allowed e.g. in Switzerland) with the tinySA Basic?

[@ErikKaashoek]

You may just be able to see the dip

[@FaunusOnYT]

@@ErikKaashoek Thank you! 👍🏻

[@tomstrum6259]

Such a Helpful review demonstration of the FM process.... Amazing demonstration ot the TinySA capability & knowledge of RF modulation principles !!.....Plz keep videos like this coming !!

[@FaunusOnYT]

Thanks a lot for this very interesting video! Is this also possible withe the tinySA Basic? Greetings and 73 from Switzerland

Hello, using the TinySA Ultra, is there a way to observe the Strength of the L1 GPS Signal using an Active 30dB GPS antenna and an additional cascaded LNA ? Thankyou, Cheers, Konstantin

[@ErikKaashoek]

Yes, visit groups.io/tinySA for more advice

Looking for substitute for the Sencore SG165 to do FM Stereo alignment on vintage receivers. Is there any thoughts about upgrading the TinySA Ultra to provide FM Stereo Signal outputs with the 19Khz pilot signal?

[@ErikKaashoek]

It is technically impossible to create a 19kHz pilot signal

[@dennisqwertyuiop]

great info,,,keep up the good work,,thank you

[@ElectronicsShow]

I get my tinysa ultra thank you Erik. Plz can you make video for how correctly look in 1w fm transmitter for harmonics. Thanks ❤

[@choppergirl]

I just wish it had more SDR features, or a third SDR mode

[@ErikKaashoek]

Me too, but impossible

[@kapiteinkarnok]

Mooi kanaal kerel ! Tnx !

[@samoime1955]

in the limitations is quoted that in ultra mode the measurement of wide band signals (above 600kHz wide) can fail. These wide signal may appear at wrong frequencies. Does it mean that last correctly detectable signal is GSM, as bandwidths of services above that are in MHz bandwidths?

[@ErikKaashoek]

It depends. Most mirrors will be at about 2GHz distance. I need to make a video to explain this in more detail

[@samoime1955]

@@ErikKaashoekyes it needs because higher priced Spectrans are known for wrong placement of services, so remains the question what can be measured. Also how does it compare to SA6?

[@ErikKaashoek]

@@samoime1955 See spec: tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=TinySA4.Specification

[@samoime1955]

@@ErikKaashoek do you have specification of SA6 so it could be compared, is it the same device?

[@ErikKaashoek]

@@samoime1955 see aliexpress.com/item/1005003809184257.html Rbw is fixed at 120 kHz

[@johnwright2661]

Just bought an TSA4, would like to upgrade firmware. Can’t get win 10 drivers()to load for DFU mode.

[@ErikKaashoek]

Please visit the support group for help. See the wiki

[@johnwright2661]

Ok

[@EJP286CRSKW]

Thanks but you should show where the magic number came from.

[@marceloLoschiBH]

I bought TinySA and I am very satisfied. Is there an APP on Android to control TinySA? I want to put it on a drone!

[@manCaveSweden]

how doI set the DFU mode on the version 1.449 , from feb 2023 ?

[@ErikKaashoek]

See wiki tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.UpdatingTheFirmware

[@manCaveSweden]

@@ErikKaashoek yes, the problem is that the guide says CONFIG-->DFU-->ENTER DFU and in the latest firmware there is no such path. The menue have changed. I have also wathched this veideo to see if you haev it in your firmware and it was not there either. So i am a bit lost

[@ErikKaashoek]

@@manCaveSweden which tinysa do you have?

[@manCaveSweden]

its the ultra version

[@manCaveSweden]

@@ErikKaashoek I think I found it and updatet the needed FW. "tinySA Ultra: press the jog button before switching on the tinySA Ultra. Switch on and the screen should stay black." Was not easy to find =)

[@samoime1955]

the reply does not work.

[@pepetorres1965]

In Spanish ???

[@TUBEORATER]

Absolutely no valuable information. No, just no.
