Thomas, no.?

But I, for one, don't mind throwing a few extra bucks at a purchase from a US-based brick & mortar seller.?

Sure was nice to drive 10 minutes to Radio Shack for that switch, transistor,? or relay I needed for my project.?

Re: TinySA Ultra follow-up
Ah, sorry for any misinterpretation... My Ultra is still working fine.? I haven't updated the firmware lately, but when I was teaching electronics at MSU, I bought 20 of the original TinySA's for student use. All from R&L, they also performed flawlessly... I used them for both, RF generation, and in put signal analysis.? The Ulta worked best for me as the display is larger! But, they both are excellent for AM signal 3 dB BW assessment and signal quality.? Nice for detecting stray RF and EMI/RFI too with a directional antenna. 73 Steve W8tow?

Re: TinySA Ultra follow-up
Hi ya,? I buy all my stuff from Aliexpress BUT I check the seller really carefully and buy from the original manufacturer where possible.? Paying more means zero, zilch, nothing in my experience.? I bought an ATU 1000 auto atu kit and researched the seller.? So good I bought another.? Both handle 1kw auto tune simply by speaking into the mike.? Anyway that is my experience so do what Walt says I think.? Cheers VK5LB?

Re: SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale
Steve, that¡¯s exactly what was happening. ?I correctly adjusted the bias and the hum is gone. ?
You all are a wealth on knowledge!
|
Hi Steve. It is good to hear from you. It has been a while since we last talked on the DX60 Net.?
?
I have cycled several 6BA6 tubes through the oscillator and tonight I repeated that exercise. I have one that sounds just a little better than the others so maybe a new tube would be worth a try. I thought one of the ones I had was NOS but it is pretty hard to tell.?
?
The 5MHz VFO signal looks good on the scope. It is a decent sine wave and looks the same with key down as it does with key up. At the key down transition I'm seeing some high frequency distortion but it only lasts for about two cycles of the 5MHz signal. It could easily be my scope picking up transients at that point.?
?
I now have solid state regulators on the VFO screen and plate. Hopefully some day I can take those out. This thing has been driving me nuts. It almost sounds OK but I'm just not quite satisfied with it.?
Thanks for your help. 73. Jerry - W0PWE

Re: SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale
thanks Steve. ?I¡¯ll double check that?

Re: SX-117 HT-44 and PS-150-120 for sale
FYI, if the PS has a loud hum when in SSB but not talking, check the bias per the manual.
The finals may be drawing too much resting current.

Looking to sell my SX-117-HT-44 set and my PS-150-120. Bought this set along with an SR-150 from a silent key ham friend, but really don¡¯t have the room for all of these.?
Comes with manuals and the connection cables for running both units together.
?
The power supply has a strong hum so i would think it needs recapped. The receiver is fantastic! Haven¡¯t used the HT-44 yet. I ordered the injection cables but never did set it all up.?
?
Asking $400 for all of it.? Local pickup only please near St Louis MO. Can send plenty more pictures.?

To add to the fellows caution.? The reason for getting an
authentic version is that firmware updates and some of the
self-cal processes don't run properly on some of the clones.? I
guess the thinking by these clone makers must be that the recourse
to the seller is lost in the noise in the event of problems.? And
that most users won't actually use it for serious work.? That must
be true as there are a thousand out on the Aliexpress site making
Amazon look somewhat tame by comparison.
Good luck!

Pete and the group,
You have to be very careful where you order from. The
designer and manufacturer of the TinySA recommend R&L

Amazon and E bay are loaded with clone knock-offs.?

Oh, Yes R&L Electronics price 149.95 shipping 10.95.

If it's stuck, most likely it cracked.? They crack and open up, that locks them in place.? The only way to get them out is pick out the pieces.? How did it get cracked (if it is), someone used an incorrect alignment tool. Good luck.

Hi all,
I know this is a generic question and there's many variables but I thought I'd try.
What?are some of you guy's?tricks to free up stuck ferrite coils? I may have a stuck coil but I'm not sure. It's not in a Hallicrafters but I do know it's kinda a common thing. BTW, it's not from wax.

I too got a Tiny SA Ultra from Santa this year. I'm waiting for a DC block and a set of attenuators before I use it much, in order to keep from damaging it.
I would recommend getting the TSA Ultra from R&L in the US. There are a TON of ripped off clones of this thing circulating through various places.
It's staggering to get a piece of gear for $159 that replaces a $20K box of a few years ago.
Merry Christmas to us! :-)

it can. It has eliminated several test instruments from my bench. It is a
spectrum analyzer, RF signal generator (cw, am, fm), sweep generator and
frequency generator. You can sweep filters and IF's. It has several other
functions I have yet to explore.
I
got first tinysa a couple years ago. Now paired with the tinysa ultra, the
only piece of test equipment on the bench I now use is the scope.
