Re: Firmware Update
I was finally able to get the ST software to recognize my TinySA on several of my computers by manually installing the driver. I wish that I had not changed my list preferences to Digest Mode as I now

Re: Connector savers

Garry, yes and now, depends what you are measuring.
If you just want to see signal around the carrier (for example you CW, or how wide is your SSB, or how deep is modulation on AM, or haw flat you

Re: I originally asked: good source & non-expensive url for Attenuators
<bammi asked> Do you have an opinion about a tap as you suggest vs. sampling the signal.
That question was recently asked in another thread, not many responses, but among ones that did respond I'd

Re: Connector savers
Instead of these savers, why not use little SMA pigtails (6" or so)?

Re: Firmware Update
I had the same problem.
You may need to manually update the device drivers for the ST DFU Se Demo program.
