		<description><![CDATA[From https://m.facebook.com/groups/368777730463838/permalink/642289483112660/

If you got bridge from China  99,9% chance it is a fake and not working due to serious errors in copying and bad ferrites. Luckily for you, errors can be easily fixed, but for 3GHz operation you´ll still have to replace coaxial cables with UT-141 rigid or something similar and replace ferrites with better. Fixed chinese fake can be used up to 1GHz.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of the clones were improperly wired on the OUT side.  You need two TinySA  to make a measurement.  One to output the signal and the other to receive the signal.  

You can also use one TinySa to measure and a noise source or RF generator. This will only work as a scalar analyzer and not as a vector analyzer so you can only measure SWR, Return Loss and impedance magnitude.

   You need to calibrate using short, open and 50 ohm loads.  Accuracy will be worse than a NanoVNA.]]></description>
