Re: New FW release: Reduce spurs for ZS-407
Erik - thank you for the update. It has improved the spurs as I no longer see the two spurs at 533.725 MHz and 533.775 MHz. There is a new spur at 533.6416 MHz (using precise sweep accuracy, 200 Hz

Re: Attenuation for Ultra
We don't use natural logarithms (base e) for RF Power dB, we use those for certain things in maths, like everyone else.
The easiest way to use dBm without the maths is to remember 10dB = 10x power

Re: Quick general questions on persisting the calibration data
Lutz,
The purpose of the calibration? indeed to remove the jump in the signal when it switches to harmonic mode.
A jump in the noise is unavoidable as the signal path loss increases due to harmonic

Re: Quick general questions on persisting the calibration data
Erik, thanks again. I do have one more question, regarding the harmonic mixing part above 5.34GHz. I used the NanoVNA's generator's third harmonic (of 1.78GHz) at around -40dBm to run the calibration

Great idea. That’s what they did with that feature on the SARK110.

Physical size?
There’s a picture of the various tinySAs on the wiki that implies that the Ultra+ is physically larger than the Ultra. If it is, what are its dimensions? I can’t find them in the specs.

Re: Attenuation for Ultra
Yes, installation of a 40 dB attenuator and starting with 5-watts or +37
dBm (yes, your math is correct), will yield +37 dBm minus 40 dB = -3 dBm or
0.0005 watts.
The "safe" input level Eric states

Re: Attenuation for Ultra
OK, really quick...
Your math is correct.
+37dBm - 40dB= -3dBm
To get to -25dBm --> you need +37 dBm - 62dB = -25 dBm

Re: Attenuation for Ultra
This all makes sense. So what I do not understand is how with a 5w
transmitter - which (if my math is right) is 37dbm, a 40db attenuator gets
you to the minimum -25dbm safety threshold for the

Re: Ham bands
They are correct for ITU Region 1, which is expected since Erik lives in that region. We are in Region 2.
