I talked (email) with someone at R & L last Friday. They said
a shipment was coming in this week, but that it was sold out. I
think he said the next shipment in was due in like 3 weeks (from
last Friday? I don't know!)
He thought my order would be fulfilled this week, but I
haven't gotten a ship notice so we'll see. :-)

They're already/still showing them out of stock, so hard to

R & L electronics sent an email that they shipped my TinySA Ultra today.
Guess they may Have them in stock now.

Another method would be to have a text file with the necessary commands to create and save the PRESETS in TinySA. Just copy it and enter it through the console or the app after the update.?
For instance, the attached file is the one I use to load the presets to monitor the TV channels in my house, also with markers:
- As startup (preset #0) we see all the band occupied.
- In preset #1 there is an analog channel.
- In presets #2, #3 and #4 there are several digital DTT channels.?
I hope it will be useful

Re: TinySA as Tracking Generator
Thanks David, I'll check that software out.

73, Fleet Fleet,
One program you might like to know about is Satsagen:

As you gather more hardware, you may find its tracking generator/spectrum analyser capabilities quite handy.
Alberto /might/ be interested in adding some tinySA support, but I don't know whether he has the hardware or how busy he is!

Re: TinySA as Tracking Generator
Thank you.? I do have a NanoVNA and I'm at the point where I can
get my antenna dialed in easily.? That much I know.? I also know
the NanoVNA is much more capable than just that.? I'll investigate
further.?

Yes and no.
If you can put the RF explorer in max hold mode, you can let both
devices independently sweep the target range and hope that after
some time you have been able to catch all frequencies but this can
take considerable time.
It is not possible to sweep in a synchronized way.
You could create a PC application that control the sweeping of
both devices.
May I suggest you look into the nanoVNA family of VNA's as often a
VNA is a much better tool than a SA with a tracking generator.

... is there a way to save preset configurations?
Alan?WA4SCA, You can save and restore the configuration data with the help of the command line tool dfu-util, available as and as??from Erik's site. Switch the device in DFU mode with "MENU / CONFIG / -> DFU / ENTER DFU" and save (upload to PC) it with:
? dfu-util --device 0483:df11 --alt 0 --dfuse-address 0x0801D000 --upload tinySA_config.bin
Chose the file name to store as you like, e.g. 'tinySA_config.bin' - this file shall not exist before otherwise the command fails. So you cannot overwrite already existing set-up data. Switch to DFU mode and restore (download to tinySA) the saved config:?
? dfu-util --device 0483:df11 --alt 0 --dfuse-address 0x0801D000 --download tinySA_config.bin
For tinySA Ultra the config address in flash has changed, the command are (untested):
? dfu-util --device 0483:df11 --alt 0 --dfuse-address 0x0803C000 --upload tinySA_Ultra_config.bin
?dfu-util --device 0483:df11 --alt 0 --dfuse-address 0x0803C000 --download tinySA_Ultra_config.bin
If you make a small HW modification you can enter the DFU mode for tinySA simply by pressing the jog switch while turning power on. Martin

TinySA as Tracking Generator
Greetings,
First off, I'm very, very new to spectrum analyzers.? I'm also a first year ham operator.? I found the web page showing how two TinySAs could be used, one for a tracking generator, the other acting as the spectrum analyzer.? I don't have two TinySA's yet (Ultra, I'm looking at you!) but I'd like to learn how the two combined work together.? Again, I'm a beginner here.
I bought my TinySA to use as a sacrificial instrument until I learned how to use one without blowing it up.? I also have an RF Explorer spectrum analyzer that goes to 6GHz and I read the manual before using it and learned of some of the pitfalls awaiting someone with no knowledge of power levels and how to attenuate them.? I know more now, at least in the safety department and I am looking to maximize the use of my tools.? My question is:? Can I use the TinySA as a tracking generator for the RF Explorer?? If I can then I'll proceed as shown by Erik and go from there.? i don't even know how/why a tracking generator is used but I wish to find out.? Do I have the tools to do so with these two spectrum analyzers?
73, Fleet

I know you can restore custom calibrations, but is there a way to save preset configurations? I usually have all of them with custom ranges and parameters, and while it isn't really hard to recreate this, it is a bit "fiddly" using the small controls. (Squinty eyes and fat fingers here!) Maybe a dump through the serial console?
73,

Re: Cal Function on the ULTRA
Very nice job! Any plans/way to fit it on a single page?

Re: New FW release: Waterfall now works on calculated traces
When I mentioned about the possibility of having an upper text field above the spectrum, it was a way for you to gain more space for other information, not specifically the date and time and fw version, but any other important information. Something similar to the RIGOL models.

Re: Looking for any update info on larger-screen TinySA
I had the same issue with display askew, unfortunately.

Re: Looking for any update info on larger-screen TinySA
I received my order Nov 25th. I ordered it Nov 8th from Zeenko through Alliexpress. Initial delivery date was Dec 3rd.
One minor issue was that the display was crooked and text at the edge was being cut off. But it was an easy fix by removing the cover and realigning the screen to the silkscreen 'frame' on the PCB. The display is held in place with sticky tape and easy to work with.? Everything else appears normal. Gotta love it

Re: Cal Function on the ULTRA
Hi Mike,
Some folks use these visual trees, that is true.
However, the link posted IS for the TinySA Ultra (called TinySA 4) during development. ?See, for example “LNA” and “Ultra” headings.
Take care,
