[RFI] TinySA as an RFI research tool

[Dave]

I agree totally with Dave...  I looked into this for a brief moment, and 
came to the conclusion that the tinySA is simply not sensitive enough 
for this task.

See:
https://www.nk7z.net/sdr-rfi-survey-p1/

Then see:
https://www.nk7z.net/tinysa/

The first link shows how an SDR can be used, the second link shows what 
the tinySA sees.  The source on the tinySA is 20 over S9 here on my 
SDR...  Massive difference in sensitivity and display ability.

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
