Don't you have enough RF in your shack that you could just us the tinySA antenna
to get enough signal to check it?
Garry, yes and now, depends what you are measuring.
If you just want to see signal around the carrier (for example you CW, or how wide is your SSB, or how deep is modulation on AM, or haw flat you FM), then you are right.
I need it to measure harmonic distortions - emissions on multiples of the base frequency, and getting signal from "the air around" brings all random attenuations on different frequencies (transmitting antenna, walls, tinySA antenna, ... Much (MUCH) more deterministic with "physical"? tap?
