Re: New FW: Experimental feature added: value button dragging

Narrow RBW isn't a feature that interests me much. If I want to drill down on problems near the carrier, my tool of choice is an SDR that covers the frequency I'm interested in. Receivers like the Airspy HF+ Discovery and SDRplay RSPdx?are great for that. And you can use them as radio receivers when they're not on the bench, making them a good value.
More frequency coverage in the low range is another matter; that would be very useful indeed. As it is, the low range doesn't have enough coverage for compliance testing of 2 meter or 1.25 meter equipment.

I used to work in high volume consumer electronics. There we worked with consumer segments. Each different and each very interesting as a market.
For a large segment of customers (?roughly 40 to 60% of all customers) for a certain function the only important spec point besides the basic function working is price.
For another, value wise large, set of customer the best spec is the most important.
In between there is a third group of customers that requires deep understanding of what features they are willing to pay for.
As of now I understand how to make a cheap SA that still performs well on its basic functions
I have no clue yet on what functions people are willing to pay extra for, except maybe a bit bigger screen but? what else?
RBW down to 100Hz?
Low range going up to 1GHz (or even 2GHz)?
Physical buttons?
Better connector?
Once the tinySA is being used by many customers I expect them to tell me what the next steps can be and I will keep in mind that each customer is always right, but there are many truth out there.
