My new TinySA is having touchscreen issues. I have repeatedly done the touch calibration. When I do the touch test, I can't draw vertical lines, only horizontal lines. I can't use the menus and have to rely on the button on top. Are there any suggestions as to how to fix this or should I just send it back?

I found out how to exit the Mode menu by pressing "Return to LOW in". So disregard my last message.

Re: marker to cf stuck jog wheel
|
I am very new to the TinySA, having just received it yesterday. I am trying to follow the instructions in 's video "tinySA Frequency Correction" on YT. My problem is that once I set the Cal Frequency to 10Mhz, I am stuck in the Lo Out menu. If I press the Mode button from the Lo Out menu, the menu I am returned to does not have a "Back" option. I have to turn off the tinySA to get out of the menu, and no longer have the 10Mhz reference set. I am using the tinySA_v1.4-175-g1419a93 firmware.
?
Thanks,
Geoff

marker to cf stuck jog wheel
Can't find anything mentioning this so far.
Using marker to cf on frequency menu changes the jog wheel to a span jog, quite useful when zooming in on a peak signal. Bottom right span value has a small triangle next to it.
But I can't find any UI way to put the jog wheel back to being a marker jog.
Power cycle, on/off, resets the jog wheel to marker mode. Reseting the markers doesn't.
Pointers?

Re: Pre-sale, tinySA ULTRA plus
No, its not all CPU.? If you're a digital type, that may seem be the weak link.? However, it is not.? Swepting too fast through a narrow filter will alias and misrepresent the signal.? On the screen an unmodulated "spike" in frequency becomes a bad rendition of a double exponential with a long tail.? Ever heard of ringing due to a narrow analog or digital filter?? Something similar is happening by scanning too fast.? It's not in the digital domain.? Both analog and digital filters suffer from ringing - shock excitation much like the clapper striking the bell.

From specificatiins I would assume yes.
It seems everyone wants faster scan times.
Is it just down to CPU? Is it an upgrade that is reasonable? This device is really important because it is afordable.

Re: Pre-sale, tinySA ULTRA plus
Hello Kurt, sorry for the oversight. "Max low input frequency" should be 900MHz for the ZS-406 and ZS-407 in the normal mode

In the table above, shouldn't the "Max low input frequency" be 900MHz for the ZS-406 and ZS-407 in the normal mode?

You can consider the sensitivity at 7 GHz to be 5 dB better for the ZS-406 than the tinySA ULTRA and 30 dB better for the ZS-407 than the tinySA ULTRA.

Many thanks to Erik's efforts, we expect to be able to launch tinySA ULTRA plus in the coming month!? Includes two versions, the ZS-406 and ZS-407, the ZS-406 will go on sale next week and the ZS-407 is expected to go on sale at the end of December.
The ZS-406 version is used to replace the current version of tinySA ULTRA,up to 900MHz in normal mode to cover the European 868MHz ISM band.
The ULTRA mode of the ZS-407 version can go up to 7.3 GHz without the use of harmonics, and the LNA is effective over the full frequency range. With LNA on at 6GHz, DANL is as low as 163dBm/Hz, possible to use the fastest 850kHz RBW to find small signals as low as -100dBm.
?
The look of tinySA ULTRA plus will remain the same as the current version of tinySA ULTRA, and the firmware will remain compatible with tinySA ULTRA, which means that any of your peripherals and apps developed for tinySA ULTRA can be seamlessly migrated to the new tinySA ULTRA plus.
?
Below are the pre-release specs, there may be some changes in the final version, the final version is based on what Erik has posted on the wiki.
