Re: Tracking Marker
Thanks for the explanation.? I'll add it to my notes.? It also explains why max->right search places the marker at the end of the trace.
My only comment is that the behavior makes sense for a

Re: Tracking Marker
I added some explanation to the wiki: https://tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.MARKERTYPE
In short. If no maximum (at least NOISE LEVEL above the surrounding minima) is found the tracking marker is

Tracking Marker
Erik,
A question came up while I was demonstrating the tinySA to some club members.
The tracking marker is supposed to track the peak of the displayed signal but, as shown in the following screen

Hi Rachel,
Probably I didn't explained it well, I don't have any problem with paying custom duties (as I also pay all my taxes). The actual amount was 10€ and it was according to the rules. But my

Re: WARNING: Measuring the spectral purity of a transmitter
You've apparently never used a signal generator from HP or Rohde & Schwarz and likely others.? Many of them have reverse power protection up to 50 watts, some up to 100 watts.? And you've apparently

Re: WARNING: Measuring the spectral purity of a transmitter
I usually use a 30dB high power attenuator for a watt to milliwatt conversion, with an additional 10 or 20 dB low power attenuator for power levels of 10 or 100 watts respectively.

Re: WARNING: Measuring the spectral purity of a transmitter
If you have extra attenuators (big if), a simple test is to measure the harmonic with and without one.? If the harmonic changes level by a value much different than the attenuator value, you're

Then you have an unrealistic view of human nature. Humans, at times, make mistakes.

Re: WARNING: Measuring the spectral purity of a transmitter
I have always used a simple 40 dB. tap to measure transmitter output.? Works with SA or a simple power meter to check output power, or a scope to check modulation.They are very easy and inexpensive

Re: 'data 0' console command
"data 0" returns the "live or last? trace" when you do any of the CALC actions.
If no calculation is active "data 0" returns all zero's

I use a directional coupler when measuring the output of a transmitter.? The coupled port is -40dB down from the transmit level and the signal to the tinySA is well above its spur free range.
