Re: Typed 0000 in the 'internals' menu and now the tinySA ultra freezes immediately after boot
Are you running the latest FW?
The only thing left is to load a very old FW (maybe the oldest Ultra FW you can find) and then load the latest FW. THis will force a reset of any preset and config data saved.

It is impossible to complete the detailed calibration process without an functional LNA as it is used in various places
However you can do a simple level calibration that should be sufficient for the 0-800 Mhz range using CONFIG/MORE/LEVEL CORRECTION/INPUT LEVEL

Re: Typed 0000 in the 'internals' menu and now the tinySA ultra freezes immediately after boot
Pressing the jog wheel to the side while restarting should work.
After starting this way the level indicators at the top and bottom left side of the screen should be in red font. If this is not the case the pressing to the side was not recognized

Typed 0000 in the 'internals' menu and now the tinySA ultra freezes immediately after boot
backstory: was trying to unlock a new tinySA ultra to go above 800mhz.? I forgot the menu location and code but figured i'd give it a try.? found 'expert config -> internals' menu and typed in 0000 as a guess.? after that the unit was frozen.? power cycle, system boots then immediately freezes.? if i hold the slider left or right while booting, the unit will scroll frequencies until the slider is released then immediately freezes.??
?
I have tried to no avail:
flashing new and old firmwares.??
reset via tinysa app (windows)?
open and unplug battery then retry.?
?
any ideas?
?

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor

Most likely you will need to enable the LNA or use an external preamplifier to lower your noise floor below whatever regulatory limit you are using.

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Is this useful and/or correct?
If so, it means that a measurement in dBuV can be used directly in a formula with AF (in dB/m) and formula is an addition, not a subtraction
Assuming LNA is disabled in TinySA, preamp gain is 0 dB?

I one wants to convert from dBuV/m to V/m, there are formulas:

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Have any of you managed to use the TABLE TRACE with AF values?
I have my antenna's AF table/graph, but the unit is dB/m (Attenuation Coefficient)
dB/m (meter), not like dBm (decibels per milliwatt)
?
I see that TABLE TRACE expects a table of fixed measurements (with linear interpolation) in the selected unit of measurement (under LEVEL menu) and shows a curve
I believe that the SUBTRACT option is useful if TABLE TRACE is computed for the same unit of measurement...
Is it ok to fill the TABLE TRACE with dB/m values as if they are in dBm? It seems strange to me...
What are the formulas to go from signal power (dBm) to electric field (V/m) or power density (W/m2), including the AF values?
Please help!

Re: Manual fault finding
Please add something to the following sentence in the fault finding page: > If all above tests are OK, set the internal attenuation to 2, 4, 8 and 16 dB (see picture below). Suggested addition (when the suggestion is right): switch off LNA before, because the attenuator is not active when LNA is selected. BTW: in my case, only the LNA was defective. Unsoldering such an IC is very easy using two soldering irons. On Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:59:02 +0100, R. Maris via groups.io <spin.in.het@...> wrote:

Re: TinySA Ultra doesn't go to menu pressing jog
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi, problem solved cleaning the flat cable from screen to PCB and moving battery back to right side, in order it doesn't touch the flat cable when closing the box. I hope it will work for years.
Bye,

TinySA Ultra doesn't go to menu pressing jog
I updated firmware to latest release today and everything was fine.
I was in config menu and I connected with the supplied cable RF and CAL connectors, to perform a selftest.
As soon as I did it the yellow trace disappeared and pressing the jog is doing nothing: no menu on the right
?
I am able to put system in DFU and tried to program again formware 3-4 times. Everything seems ok but as soon as I switch on TinySA Ultra as usual, non measure line is displayed and pressing or sliding jog does nothing.
?
I opened the case and plugged off the battery but no way.
?
Any other suggestion?
?
Many thanks,
