setup for analysis of before/after measurements of v4 spectrum purity


 

Hi,

Have all the "recommended" parts (inductors + relays) that is supposed to make a "typical" v4 either FCC compliant or very close. But before I did the surgery, wanted to do a before/after measurement.

I am going to try to use the sdrplay sa software. I have seen where several people have used it to at least get a ranging shot on the spectrum. Will also send in a two tone signal thru microphone port using a windows soundboard app that was suggested on these forums.

So I do know I need to send the ubitx into a dummy load.... duh

And that I want to put lots of attenuation in front of the sdrplay (people seem to be typically using 40db, but I will put more than that to start until I figure it out.)

But nobody seems to mention how the sdrplay will pick up the signal? I am guessing that I don't use *any* antenna and just let the attenuators sit open. ?Can someone validate this? Also, any experience in using the sdrplay SA software will be appreciated. Would prefer not to blow it up if possible. :-)
