To obtain either the nanovna or the Tinysa, the source store for each is listed in the heading of the respective Groups.io page, if you buy it from some other source, very good chance you got a clone, IMHO.

I believe the one I ordered is legit. But we will find out once I get it. If it is suspect I can take photos and post them. But blacklisting a seller is rather hard. I know when I got my NanoVNA it was questionable if it was legit or a clone.
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Thanks for the heads up.

Open the tinySA case by removing the 4 screws If the PCB is green, there are no shields on the PCB and the print on the PCB says "tinySA v0.4" you have a clone Print you purchase details and put the tinySA PCB showing the "tinySA v0.4" text on the printout so the purchase details are still visible. Make a photo of the purchase details printout with the PCB and a photo of the box with all the accessories of the tinySA and send these photos in a private reply to this message. We will formally confirm in reply the product you bought is a clone and it is violating our trademark? so you can go back to your supplier and request a refund. We will? contact the supplier using your purchase as evidence and request them to stop selling products that violate our trademark. --
