How we can use the CONFIG/EXPERT CONFIG/LEVEL CORRECTION/OUTPUT LEVEL?
Hi Erik,
Entering the actual level received in CONFIG / EXPERT CONFIG / LEVEL CORRECTION / INPUT LEVEL menu while being in LOW (or HIGH) input mode, this modifies the leveloffset low (or hihg)

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
Thank you Steve, but since I lost my arm and shoulder to cancer I will buy another one. $60 US from RL Elect.
If I have to solder something, my wife has to hold the solder.
This TinySA is

Dave - I attempted to repair mine (you can buy the attenuator chips off of eBay).? The tools needed are a hot air rework station, solder paste, and a powerful magnifying glass.? Despite having all

Re: Cal output 1MHz shows around 8MHz ?
That explains.The automatic peak finding has its limitations and in this case it did not find the maximum asit is too close to the zero Hz peak.
And measuring a signal at 1MHz with an RBW of 621kHz

Re: Cal output 1MHz shows around 8MHz ?
I can't replicate this behavior. All is OK when I test.
Can you post a picture showing this?

Cal output 1MHz shows around 8MHz ?
Hi, quick test although I am probably missing a few brain cells :)
Set cal output to 1mhz, then 'return to low in'? - IT shows around 8 Mhz - all other cal outputs seem to do as they say.
Any

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
Hi,
There are some people who do repairs and alignments on other peoples' gear. I am one. But I have no experience 'molesting' a tinySA and so I will not offer. Dave may find somebody here who will

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
Dave,
By the time you pay for the parts, someones time and the shipping costs both ways it may not be worthwhile. You might consider buying another one and using the broken one as a signal

Erik,
It might be helpful if this was printed on a piece of paper and included in the TinySA shipping box.

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
I just did the self-test and the attenuator test failed.
I have almost always had a 30 dB pad on the input when looking at broadband or unknown levels. I'm an RF engineer and I think I know what I'm

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
Thank you Steven. I think I will replace my unit and maybe try to get the one I have repaired somehow. I did hook up an HT on low power (2W) through 50 dB attenuator which I thought would be enough.

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
Take it from someone who learned it the hard way (me):? it's critical to use a DC block and an external attenuator (maybe around 20db) to prevent accidental damage to the onboard attenuator.? I

Thank you Erik, I performed the steps you recommended and now when I run the self test everything passes except the attenuator test. I guess that will have to do for now. Don't understand how this

Re: Stopband Critical and Attenuator Fail Notifications
The level calibration fails when the attenuator is blown.
You can perform a manual level calibration that avoids the negative impact of the broken attenuator
