Hi, Yes outliers removal creates gap in Stable32. The « fill » function can fills gaps with interpolated values. It does not change much the graphs, except in the low Tau area (see attached). Do you know a discussion of impact of outliers removal ? Gilles. > Le 18 janv. 2021 à 22:06, Bob

Hal, my 10 MHz birdie is at a level of about -95 dBm, which puts it a little more than 10 db above the noise floor in 3 kHz BW. I've found that the "spur removal" function sometimes works, but not always, if I change the IF frequency setting to 433.9 MHz. It's mostly bimodal behavior- sometimes

Hi As you throw away samples that are far off the mean, you reduce the sample rate ( or at least create gaps in the record). Dealing with that could be difficult. Bob > On Jan 18, 2021, at 1:33 PM, Gilles Clement wrote: > >> Hi >> >> Very cool !!! >> >> The red trace is obviously the one

BTW, I did purchase my 10MHz-"leaky" TinySA through R & L. Had I not had the clue that R & L was a reliable source, I would never have ordered one ot these things at all. Tom, I don't walk around- I pedal around on a recumbent trike. Dana On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 5:20 AM Bill Notfaded wrote:

Knock offs is part of the reason I posted the main US distributer earlier. The software is basically open source so anyone could theoretically make one. There's only one original manufacturer though. R Electronics is the only sanctioned US distributer I'm aware of. Also they have the best price
