I've been trying to align some HT's this week.
?
After a lot of messing about I concluded that some of the commonly available
"ham"style meters were somewhat variable in quality.
?
So I decided to try using the Tiny SA as? a power meter with suitable attenuation
and calculations.
?
I *think* that so far this has ended up being more accurate but I'd still like
to hear of other folks experiences using this method.
?
As an aside, the sig gen function has been invaluble for setting up squelch
levels and determining sensitivity too.
?
I learnt quite a bit by using the sig gen function to set up my Quansheng
squelches, there's three squelch service menus, get them wrong and
you get a disaster on your hands. (Maybe a topic for another forum!)
?
Whilst doing various tests I was surprised to see that my old Wouxun UVD1
dual bander HT was 6db less sensitive than my Quansheng's.
?
Thank heavens for having a Tiny SA to hand - thanks Erik !
?
And Murphy's always strikes when using various cheap cables / sma connectors.
?
Oh man, those cheapo SMA's can out of tolerance causing odd losses and
not mating properly, grrr !
