Re: What are the biggest damage risks when using stock antenna?
Interesting topic.
What do you guys think about just shorting the antenna before connecting to the vna?
Or -
Use a switchable attenuator connected to the antenna in test?

Re: What are the biggest damage risks when using stock antenna?
Certainly, ESD would be the most common destructive danger.?
With the telescopic antenna, the danger would be from being close to a transmitting radio or its antenna. I will not take my Tinysa to

Re: What are the biggest damage risks when using stock antenna?
Two biggest risks are
1: touching anything with the antenna. Anything electrically charged can still destroy the tinySA, even with the ESD protection
2: being close to a strong transmitter. Even if

What are the biggest damage risks when using stock antenna?
I recently purchased a tinySA and am planning to use it casually as I study some basics of radio and related topics. I am admittedly extremely new to these fields.
I've seen a lot of warnings about

In the last few days I have noticed new spurious energy appearing in the display.? See the image below.

Re: 0.1 db resolution measurement
I suspect that showing the measurement in steps of 0.1dB instead of 0.5 dB is only because it is the result of AVER4 calculations.

In your video you are confusing resolution with accuracy.? The resolution can be quite small but that does NOT mean the measurement is that accurate.

0.1 db resolution measurement
When measuring the gain of several antennas it is preferred to have a better resolution than the usual 0,5 db resolution.
Through watching several YT videos i noticed the "measure" and "noise" method,

Eric, would it be interesting to produce a video on how the tiny sa came about and the collaboration between the designers.

Re: Lead free solder and q.c.
RoHS did make some repairs easier. Pull off the RF shield, blow/brush out all the whiskers, solder on a new shield, and hope it doesn't come back until after the warranty runs out.
