Re: Input RF switch fault found on TinySA ultra
I managed to change U22 in my Tiny SA Ultra. I used an 852D+ hot air soldering station. Used hot air to remove old one and soldering iron and Ersin multicore? 23SWG solder to solder new one. Used a

Re: measuring spectrum of a single pulse not feasible with TinySA?
Modern digital o'scopes contain many useful add-ons which are impossible
with the older strictly analog approaches. I'd also suggest capturing the
discharge trace on a modern o'scope and using the

Re: Input RF switch fault found on TinySA ultra
Hi there,
I would second the recommendation to use a hot-air station for this repair.? With some practice beforehand, you can become proficient enough to do it relatively easily.? We have a cheap

This power cycling method is a good way to isolate the interference and determine if it is coming from your property or outside. I would also get a DSP Receiver such

Wow. Just wow. You have created what we call RF Hell. You will inevitably have a high rate of signal collisions. Also the combined signal level of all your transmitters and EMI generators across all

Re: Help ! Calling Ghostbusters.
Hi.
Let me conclude:
1. You have a huge house with many WiFi components (only talking about
that what is running over WiFi).
2. You have a very high number of WiFi components.

Re: Input RF switch fault found on TinySA ultra
Kindly suggestion: never use a graphite pencil as a pointer to components
on a PCB. One might inadvertantly create a conductive path on the board
without knowing it. This is just a general rule of

Re: Input RF switch fault found on TinySA ultra
Hello.
I don't know your soldering shills, but this definitely is on higher level.
Forget soldering irons in this case. There are super-fine T12 soldering irons, but the size is
still very small.

What do you call close proximity ? This is a 4600 sq ft home on 3 levels indoors. There are many smart bulbs outdoors as well. The devices are not all close to each other. There is a fair amount i can

Re: Help ! Calling Ghostbusters.
It is most likely that your problem is that you are just swamping the spectrum with so many devices. You are just overloading the capacity. There will not be just one problem so a spectrum analyser

Re: Help ! Calling Ghostbusters.
That's really impractical for the hardwired devices, which are many. Flipping some of the 50 breakers works, but cannot isolate a single device such as a switch or bulb.
I can turn off power to entire

Re: measuring spectrum of a single pulse not feasible with TinySA?
If you repeat the pulse and use MAX HOLD, the scanning will eventually capture the generated fundamental and harmonics.
Depending on the duty cycle of the generated output this "eventually" may take a
