Would like to report a new fake chinese hardware for TinySA

 

I don't like FAKE hardware clones.? The original developers/artists/etc deserve that (as one myself).
?
Is this the right place to report a new clone I found?
?
?
Thanks.

Erik,

Maybe you want to lower the tolerance for this self test item.

Hugen,

your comment is interesting for me, because the test fail #8 did not occur in every test run. Sometimes there are 4 or 5 good runs , but the next fails. Sometimes there a 3 or 4 bad runs that fail in sequence.? Therefore I ran several level calibrations, but they did not fix it.?


I will return it to vendor!

Hartmut?

Sorry, it really isn't a clone. This is due to a deviation in the IF filter, and although we have rechecked it several times during the production process, there are still some with smaller deviations that passed the test during production, but could not pass the test in subsequent tests. You can try contacting your supplier for a replacement.

Re: Selftest fail #bug_report

 

You did not buy from an authorized vendor so you might have received a clone.

This does not look good and can not be repaired by different FW or other user action

Selftest fail #bug_report

 

My TinySa Ultra+, just bought on Amazon from
Pinsaitec, fails on selftest #8. I have implemented newest firmware, have done several calibration runs! No efford! What can I do, before returning the device to vendor??
Best regards, Hartmut

If doing a restart while pushing the jog button to the side does not help its a HW fault

My TinySA ultra device is giving me a "SI4468 Configure Fail" error and is not coming up.?
Any advice on how to recover ?

Re: Spur at 4.275 GHz on ZS-407

 

I have a similar prob?although not quite as bad, the rear of my 407 is the same as Andrew's except the serial # as expected. Mine also appears to be a little later as the serial # is greater. I've duplicated?the first 4 images for comparison.

Just to be sure, there is nothing wrong with the HW.

Let me make a joke:?The next person that complains about spurs in Ultra mode with spur reduction forced off gets banned from this group :-)

Re: Spur at 4.275 GHz on ZS-407

 

Correction on my previous mail frequency is 4.2766 GHz (typo). On the plot with spur removal off Markers 4 & 7 appear to be ambient ingress not spurs.?

Erik, I too have the 4.766GHz spur as described by Andrew. as purchased from R&L a couple months ago. The attached plot #1? is with a terminated input, Spur Removal? ON. No change with the external antenna. I don't see any other spurs. Plot #2 is the same with the Spur Removal OFF.

Can you check if you see similar spurs at 1069 MHz, 2138 MHz and 4276 MHz?
I assumed these where solved but if you still see them I have to do some more work.

Re: WinSpectrum III spectrum analyzer question

 

I think that’s the general idea! There’s way too much traffic on this forum IMHO. Peter


Re: WinSpectrum III spectrum analyzer question

 

A separate group?? I believe you'd miss a lot of good traffic.??

No problem to point people to that separate group from here.

Re: Spur at 4.275 GHz on ZS-407

 

Do the spurs increase in level when you attach the telescopic antenna?
No, it remains the same. And it is present even when the RF input is short-circuited with the VNA calibration "S" cap.
?
Can you check if you see similar spurs at 1069 MHz, 2138 MHz and 4276 MHz?
Not exactly at those frequencies (or that is just a measurement error), but some of them are there with Spur Removal turned off. When I set it to On or Auto, they are gone, except for the one at 4.276 GHz.?
