Re: NOISE GENERATOR for the HOME BREWERS
I've always used Zeners as noiwe generators but have a collection of LEDS. I'll have to give one or several LEDs a try! NoiseCom makes quite a line of noise diodes if you want something "standard" to

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
The S-meter stays deflected, same? as without attenuation can be seen in the photo. Yes , I have used a DMM and analog multimeter, same lecture 1,7 v no variation tweaking the coils.

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
For the DMM (voltmeter) are you attaching to the DC level of the AGC or possibly the downconverted IF signal in the first IF? The DMM will not see RF energy at the IF frequency. Also, most AGCs I've

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
What does the S meter do with the additional attenuation? Dose it still say at full scale? Jeff ________________________________________ Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2025 17:45 To: [email protected]

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
No , it does not change the voltage when the generator is off. I have just tried placing a 30 db attenuator in the probe but same results. I have also added a toggle switch attenuator ,100 db, and no

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
Something else to check is does the agc voltage change with the RF Gain control? 73 Jeff G8HUL ________________________________________ Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2025 17:12 To: [email protected]

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
Does the agc voltage on the multi-meter change with the generator off? I can only conclude from what the S meter is doing that the generator level is too high even at minimum, but that does not

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
Yes, I have checked several times that the signal is injected, I can heard the tone and adjust T17 for zero beat. The probe is in the correct location, although the manual indicates two white/green

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
The alignment in question if for the 50kHz IF of the Drake Rx. Unfortunately the manual does not give an i/p level for this step, just set it such that there is a slight deflection in the agc voltage.

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
Are you positive that you are a) injecting signal, and b) probing, in the correct locations? Also you said that the S meter went to full scale, does this happen with both the TinySA and the HP

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
I read the manual. The lowest RF on the Drake SPR4 is 150 kHz. Sensitivity (i.e. before AGC reduces gain) at 10dB (S+N)/N is 0.25uV SSB/CW/RTTY (i.e. BFO mode) and 0.5 uV AM 0.5 uV is -113 dBmW

Re: NOISE GENERATOR for the HOME BREWERS
I recall a really simple noise generator circuit from a magazine (something like Practical Wireless, in the U.K.) in the 1970s which used a reverse biased green LED, two 9V batteries in series, a pot

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
The HP209A is used in applications likely wanting -20 dBm to +10dBm. The RF input of a communications receiver might be -110dBm (AGC at max gain, signal just above noise) and about -80dBm to -70dBm

David, I am aware that you stated Ham Radio. I've searched their archives as well as their cumulative indexes with no results. There are 269 Ham Radio editions in the index, from Feb 1968 to June

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
On some receivers, the S Meter will go towards full scale as the RF Gain is turned down and the receiver goes to low sensitivity.. > > >

Re: TinySA Ultra 50 Khz as a signal generator
Yes, but the issue is that whatever the output level is there is no a slight deflection , it remains stuck always in 1,6 volts. I have tried with? all levels that the Tiny gives. Right now? I attach
