But the tinySA (and Ultra variant) is capable of certain
professional uses, such as site survey work for radio microphones
& similar, as previously noted.
Any comparatively cheap piece of equipment can be used for both
“professional” and “non-professional” purposes. Equally, any
comparatively expensive piece of equipment can be used for both “professional”
and “non-professional” purposes.
There is a separate question as to calibration of
equipment, and how long it might endure before re-calibration is
required. But that applies to all electronic and mechanical
devices.
Or put another way, equipment becomes “professional” if some
“professional” person decides that it is suitable for some
“professional” purpose. That said, the most usual use of the term
“professional” is as a marketing tag. (Or on an invoice!)

There should be a
clear statement that this is a hobbyist product and that the
responsibility for professional use is solely on the end
user.Otherwise someone may use it for compliance testing and
subsequently one of the businesses might end up with a huge
liability and tries to get back on Eric. Not that any responsible
engineer would ever do that but heck one never knows.
