I think that when the probable next version comes out hopefully with a bigger screen ( I wish I could solder the flexible ribbon with confidence, as a 3.2¡± screen makes for easier viewing and hardly overlaps the existing case), I will be getting it so that the current sa can be used as a tracking generator and sig gen.
Steve,
? Several members of my ham club purchased two tinySA's so that one of them could be used separately as a sigen/tracking generator.? The HBTE group (home brew test equipment) recently added a tracking generator daughter board to their small SA design.?
? For a second tinySA used as a tracking source, Erik has suggested adding an attenuator and rf preamp at the LO output of the second tinySA for better dynamic range. That recommendation was actually for a set-up using an external mixer and any external generator.? When using two tinySA's in a tracking generator set-up, I don't believe the extra external components are necessary but the wiki isn't clear about the set-up details.
