Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Once you have worked out how to do it and have some measurements it would be nice if you could share some experiences as this is for sure a more advanced topic for many users

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
That's great to hear. The application of AF was the only outstanding uncertainty I had about the TinySA before I buy it.

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
You can enter the AFs and readings from the SA into separate columns within
EXCEL and let that app do the arithmetic in a third column. In addition,
you could have EXCEL plot that corrected data with

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Yes
Yes, Suggest to measure the exact frequency range of the antenna and store the trace on the SD, move it to a computer and edit the 450 values to reflect the antenna, move back to tinySA and load

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Hi Erik,
Thank you for the suggestion. Is the trace limited to 8 points linearly interpolated? This may work fine in a pinch, but ideally I someone upload the full table of AF measurements (there's

Re: How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Using TRACE/CALC/TABLE TRACE you can create a trace containing a 8 point linear interpolation of the AF versus frequency.
Suggest to use TRACE 4 for the table.
Now you can use the TABLE TRACE as

How to apply frequency-dependent Antenna Factor
Good day,
I would like to know whether I can apply the Antenna Factor (AF) for my calibrated biconical antenna to measurements being made by the TinySA Ultra. Antenna theory refresher: The AF is a

Re: Tinysa ultra zs-407 real or fake
You are comparing the Ultra with a, in the video, a 2.8 inch tinySA Basic.
The Ultra has at least 4 dB lower noise floor and the basic does 4 times averaging
This explains the difference in noise you

Re: Pre-sale, tinySA ULTRA plus
Tecsun has some nifty tiny receivers that will double as a powered speaker and also record the audio. I have a Q3 that I purchased for just such tasks.

Hi,
Some people use the "amplified speakers" marketed for use with computer sound systems. I use those the same way for my little QRP radios without speakers or in loud outdoor environments. Earphones

However, the 406 is incredibly sensitive, with an internal antenna (1 meter

Does anyone know if you can increase the audio
