Re: Ultra Listen mode

 

As someone else noted, I¡¯m finding that plugging in stereo phones requires some fussing around to get audio in both ears. Could it be that the jack is mono? (I haven¡¯t opened it.) If so, I¡¯ll make an adapter.

I believe that a Moderator can modify the Subject line of a thread to add a missing or incorrect hashtag. ?

If a member modifies a subject line in reply to a thread, like by adding ¡±...Problem Solved¡±, then it shows up as a second thread. ?
I usually use the merge function to merge it back into the correct thread.

Of course this requires Moderator(s) who are focused on the structure, as opposed necessarily to the content.

From Groups.io help page on using hashtags:

Applying hashtags to topics

?

When you are creating a topic on the group website, you can apply existing hashtags by selecting the hashtags from the Add Tags list that appears below the subject line on the NewTopic page. Be aware that some groups require every topic to include at least one hashtag (which will be stated on the New Topic page).

When you are writing an email message to send to the group, you can simply enter hashtags in the subject line. If a hashtag you enter in the subject line does not already exist in the group, it is created (if the group allows?members to create new hashtags). Be aware that some groups require every topic to include at least one hashtag. If you email a new topic to a group that requires hashtags but do not include any hashtags on the email¡¯s subject line, the system returns the message to you with a delivery failure notification that contains the statement ¡°Messages to this group require at least one hashtag to be specified in the subject.¡± You must resend your message and include at least one of the required hashtags on the subject line. You can find out what hashtags are available by logging in to Groups.io?and checking the group¡¯s website. See Viewing the hashtags used in a group.

Note:?

  • Hashtags take effect only if they are placed on the first message in a topic, and they will be applied to all messages in the topic.
  • It is possible for you to add a hashtag to an emailed reply by editing the subject line, but this addition has no effect. The hashtag will be included in the reply¡¯s subject line for members receiving messages through email, but it will not be included in the subject line of the archived message or of any other messages within the topic.
  • Some hashtags might be reserved for moderator use only.

The hashtag limit is five per topic. (The system allows message subject lines to contain more than five hashtags, but only the first five hashtags are saved in the message archive.

As I noted in my previous message there are already hashtags for #tinysay and #ultra. And as others have noted this will be imperfect since many won't know or will forget to use them. But then the same can be said when a separate group is created or for that matter any approach you take.? Perfection doesn't exist here.


Locked Re: New Group !!!

 

Spliting into groups doesn't make sense to me.

Erik has created hashtags for #tinysa and #ultra and it makes sense to try to use those to identify relavence of messages. Groups.io allows "muting" tags so that people can filter the messages they see.
I say "try" to use hashtags because I suspect that many aren't even aware of the concept. But then I expect that the same would be true if an attempted was made to identify messages with simple word tags.

Mike,

It's as Gary says:? "As long as the TinySA and TinySA Ultra remain basically
the same I see no need to artificially separate the discussions about the two.".

Splitting discussions can make things more difficult to find - I think we see
that - at least to a degree - in the multiple "nanoVNA" groups.? Perhaps the
concept of "spectrum analyser" is more familiar to folk with modern equipment
already incorporating spectra and waterfalls.? Erik's videos help a lot, too.

The cost doesn't justify the gain.

Cheers,
David

Re: TinySA persistence

 

Bingo!? That works.? Thanks?


Re: TinySA persistence

 

DC Decouple the SA from the prescribed test point and assure the level of injected signal is well below the max of the SA input.? That will trace the BPF shape as the injected signal is swept through the BPF.? I don't have one, yet, but if it has a max hold, that would be appropriate as you sweep the injected signal.

The term "persistence" wrt a spectrum analyzer goes??? W A Y??? back to the "original" HP141 with its "variable persistence".? Yes, I used one many times.....

Mine arrived from R&L on Friday. The display seems to be in perfect alignment. Haven't done much with the Ultra yet, but I'm looking forward to running it through its paces.

Virtually ANY addition to the Subject line is fraught with potential errors. ?groups.io allows one to interact using many platforms, email and webpage and several different message viewing and responding methods (Digest, individual, etc.). ?Many people change the Subject line to meet their own needs. ?Unfortunately, this results in a NEW thread being created, so message threading forks to another branch. ?If some folks add a word like Ultra in the Subject line as an identifier and not everyone follows that style, you end up as we are now.

Once you understand the workings of a vector network analyzer, going from one model to another, even the "professinal" models ($$$$), this is no longer an issue.? Spend the time to learn the VNA, and you won't have that problem.?

Why not just put "Ultra" somewhere in the subject line, so in an instant everyone will know which device the email is about? If it's not there, then everyone knows you are referring to the original. Easy-Peezy!
