Another thing about the Tiny SA is that the screen is very difficult to see
in bright light.
When you get out in the field tracking down a noise, you will encounter many
noise sources. You don't want to be watching squiggly lines on a dim
screen, trying to figure out if that's the same signature you saw at home.
If you track a noise by ear, with directional antennas such as an HF loop or
flag with a SW receiver, or a yagi/AM VHF receiver, you are pretty much
assured by the sound of it that you are onto the specific noise of interest.

I don't know if with DX Engineering Portable Receive Preamplifier-Attenuator
DXE-NL-PRE-ATT-1 if that would make the product perfect by adding a
directional HF and VHF antenna?

Objet : RE: TinySA as an RFI research tool
Hi All again,
While I am thinking of it I also tried the little radio called a
Malachite. It suffers the same problems but is a bit more sensitive than the
TinySA. One of these with some sort of antenna and preamp looks to me like
it would be pretty good. Neither of the two TinySA or Malachite worked as
well as the Tecsun PL660 without externals.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Hugo and all,
I have looked at and tried the TinySA as an interference testing tool.
The sensitivity of the Tiny Sa only goes down to -100 dBm. I was thinking at
some point I would add a 20 dB preamp and try it again. As it is by itself
with the short vertical it is not sensitive enough to pick up much RFI. I
specifically am referring to 40, 80, and 160 meters. I did not try it on VHF
with a small beam. In addition, the small vertical antenna supplied with the
TinySA swings freely on its connector and will not stay vertical or
horizontal.

Hi,
What do you think of TinySA as the main tool for RFI research in order to
intervene effectively instead of a simple portable HF radio?
73!
