Banggood now also sends clones (at least from their CZ warehouse).

I’ll try to get a refund; if the clone is illegal, I cannot send it back (because that would be illegal!).

Well, we have already established it is a fraudulent, and by the way illegal, fake.

I’m still in the process of trying to get a refund from banggood.

Just got my refund.
(They didn’t want me to send back the illegal clone.)

This gives us some hope that Banggood will now control their supply chain better — after all, they had been delivering genuine tinySA devices before.

(They did suppress my one-star review lamenting getting a bad clone; if they now go on sending the genuine ones, I consider that OK — after all the real tinySA does deserve the 100 % five-star review it now has.)

Did you enable High mode?

I assume you do enter the MHz associated with 70cm?

Make sure when you make your complaint to your credit card company you tell them the genuine product was never received. What you got in the mail was a counterfeit product instead that does not work and is a trademark violation. I would close by saying the seller has committed fraud.

I opened a dispute on Aliexpress and linked on they wiki and on this posting to confirm the seller is selling unauthorized clones.
Of course the seller rejected my dispute and claimed he sells same quality as original and asked me to pay the full price.
I rejected that again and the case got escalated to Aliexpress.
Aliexpress now also rejected my refund request claiming the products tinySA of this seller have no quality issues.
I guess next step is to fill in the complaint form of my CC supplier and attempt to get my money back that way.

Sounds like it's time to stop buying from that chinese site. I know some people like the site, but at some point they will get you with something.

Didn't fail ST-9 this morning. I attached screen lock images of ST-7 and ST-8 failing tests.Joe

I purchased one from R&L last night. The one I had issues with was purchased off of Ebay (seller: ideafoxtrot)

Can you post a picture of the failing selftest #9?
Test #9 was made more sensitive in newer FW, maybe too sensitive.

I just purchased one from R & L which should be the real thing and they said they have plenty in stock as of Thursday.
Should be at my brother tomorrow and will reply here if theirs any problems with it.
Better get one before everyone starts jacking the price up !?

Eric,

it fails test #9 with 77?
I installed older firmware and could not get it to fail.
also, is there a list of what each test is??

Anyways, it never failed self test until I upgraded firmware to 77 and now it will fail about 1 out of 10 times.

Which selftest fails with what message?
?

If you have male-to-female connector savers on your SA they make a nice handy touch point for grounding yourself when you pick up the unit.

Some users have unfortunately experienced TinySA failures.? Some may be from production issues but others are probably due to exceeding safe levels at the input or perhaps from ESD (static) damage.

I came across this safety/handling article by another handheld Spectrum Analyzer manufacturer and though readers might find it interesting.

Just tried the self test with some $900 GORE jumper cables and it passes all the time with 77, well so far. I wonder if its an noise issue, I have TONS of RFI here and the GORE is much better shielded.

Don't cheat yourself out of owning one of the finest pieces of test equipment available to the hobbyist/experimenter/ham radio enthusiast.? Buy from one of the suggested vendors:

Mine failed right out of the box and appears to be a clone model which I had no clue existed. Shipping back to seller tomorrow and will probably scratch the idea of buying one now.
