Generator Mode Safety

rich All Messages By This Member #18903 What precautions would apply to the tinySA when in generator mode ?? ? Does it have the same fragility at the connector ? ? ? ?

miguel cejudo All Messages By This Member #18906 Sorry for my english, Iam spanish. I have a very very little experience? but I told you I use the TINY SA in generator mode, connecting it to the transceiver’s antenna. As a precaution, I disconnect the microphone first to avoid accidentally transmitting (TX) and sending the signal to the TINY SA, which could damage it. In vintage transceivers like yaesu I put out one conector for TX mode and I dont puta the transceivers in TX mode. Another thing I use the generator mode for is to produce an audible tone and feed it into the microphone input. This is because some equipment requires a signal for adjustments, like 1 kHz or 300 kHz tones, to check and set the maximum power output at those frequencies, especially for SSB modes. You have to be careful not to connect it to a pin that has voltage. For instance, some microphones have a pin with 8 volts(for example). Make sure you don’t connect it there, or those 8 volts could travel through the cable to the TINY SA. I’m not sure if this precaution is absolutely necessary, but I always make sure to check which pins have voltage and which ones are strictly for audio input, just to be safe. toggle quoted message Show quoted text El jue., 26 dic. 2024 9:26, rich via <rwe061=[email protected]> escribió: What precautions would apply to the tinySA when in generator mode ?? ?
