  1. Very elemental questions. Obviously a signal/spectrum analyzer like the Tiny SA Ultra is not an SDR. But some SDR’s can be used as spectrum analyzers, albeit with very limited capabilities. There is a lot of info out there..some of it’s probably accurate.. 🙂 .. but as a fixed base operator, would I have a need for a Tiny SA or would a good quality SDR plugged into one of my laptops be a better choice? Due to personal / family circumstances, I will likely not be doing any field operation – just working out of a suburban home.

    The aircraft tracking aspects of SDR are interesting, though. We have a lot of military air traffic in my area, from Air National Guard helicopters to heavy jets out of Whiteman and Tinker AFB. I’d like to find a definitive but not TOO technical resource to help me decide which device, if any, would be advantageous for a fixed location.

    Thanks as always
