    Thanks for pointing these limitations out. I am still amazed when I turn mine on and find out how much it can do. I haven't used the generator for anything yet. I had no idea it would appear that accurate, relatively clean, and go below -100 dBm without an external attenuator.

    This is fantastic. Thanks for all the work developing this! I have two of the original versions (one for SA and one for sig-gen). This is an amazing upgrade and plan to get one (or two :-) ) of these now also.

    very interesting and I just ordered a tinySA Ultra signal generator to use on setting up a SDR 21cm 1420 MHz radio telescope backyard hobby project. 😎 thank you.

    Pretty damned impressive for a $200 machine! I'm really surprised how accurate the RF generator level output is.. Looks like I'm going to have to purchase one for the field tool kit :)

    -18dbm is the TinySA Ultra highest output that are valid under 1Ghz, so its more or less secure to hook up to most thing unattenuated when it max can supply -18dbm and got no DC. where the TinySA peaked at -6dbm in low and up around +13dbm in high If I recall on its signal out mode.

    Just got my Ultra and really like it, however I was misinformed that the Ultra had TG capabilities (for filter sweeps). Would be nice if a couple of TinySA's could be somehow linked (trigger I/O etc.) so that they could together do TG measurements. Still happy with both the TinySA and NanoVNA in that they give accessibility previously unavailable at low cost. Thanks & 73

    My Tiny SA Ultra puts out a generator signal way lower than expected. As I keep reducing the output level, at some point it starts to get stronger on the connected receiver before disappearing below the noise way sooner than expected. I have tried it on several different receivers with the same result. I don't have another SA I can use to actually measure the output power level.

    In the previous model, the VHF band was of good quality, but from 400mhz onwards, I did not feel such a reliable reading of the spectrum, considering that it was provided free of charge. In this “ultra” model, is there a quality in the reading of the entire spectrum, up to about 800Mhz, as happened in the previous model in readings below 300mhz?
