Any of the screen capturing tools using a PC and the USB connection can capture the screen after running the selftest.
Example is tinySA-App, but there are more

There are so many sellers of clones on all platforms. Amazon, Ebay, AliExpress,...
That is why we don't list sellers of clones anymore. Only the safe places to buy.

Re: Enhancement Requests: File Management Sort By Name and Rename
For anyone stumbling upon this thread and wanting files sorted differently, the underlying file access is at the raw FAT. Files on the SD card aren't sorted for display, they are listed based on the order they were originally created and added to the FAT. Changing the file creation (or modification or access) date/time will not change the displayed file order.
?
To get my .prs files in the SD card to show in alphabetical order I created a powershell script to copy the files off the sdcard, delete the originals, and then copy the files back in the desired order. This process deletes the FAT entries and then recreates them.

John,

I am willing to discuss the details of the clone "in-private", but Erik didn't seem interested in my attempt to report another fake clone.

Re: Would like to report a new fake chinese hardware for TinySA
Hello fellow amateur radio user!
?

All I wanted to do was to report a new fake clone which wasn't mentioned anywhere on the site.
?
Simple as that.

Re: Would like to report a new fake chinese hardware for TinySA
I think the OP was thinking of a list of where clones were on sale, rather than details of the differences. Better to stick to the list of where to buy real ones though!

The criteria are set a bit too strict.
Will update the FW in the near future to solve this minor problem

Hi Hasan,
that is exactly the same selftest behaviour than with me! I have sent my Tinysa back to vendor, but I wonder it might be a systematic error. Perhaps the tolerances of test#8 are a bit tight?
And Eric,
what could be the consequences of a spurious fail of test#8? What does this test really messure?

Re: Spur at 4.275 GHz on ZS-407
I can confirm that the latest firmware has fixed the spurs as reported on my ZS-407. after installing the latest firmware did a self test - all ok, but I notice that the reference level (top left) and the minimum level (bottom left) is red Performed a LEVEL CAL now all?back to normal.?
Thank you Erik.
Dave?
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.
Dave
OK, let me try to improve the situation at 4.3 GHz
Just to be sure, there is nothing wrong with the HW.

Thanks Bob,

seems there will be no other choice than to get it exchanged. But i still wonder how "severe" it is if not passed !

Hasan,
This sounds a lot like the problem that was reported and resolved

Hi guys, I got the? TinySA Ultra+ ZS406 today from Eleshop. I updated the firmware to tinySA4_v1.4-198-g996a67b.bin (Picture 1).
?
Before that, I had a Firmware from January 2025.
?
I did the Self test two times, which failed on Test 8 Passband failed (Picture 2 and 3).
 
?
Then I did the Level CAL" 100kHz to 5,42GHz" and then I tried the Self test again same problem with Test 8 Passband failed.
?
Then I Reset Calibration and did and did the Level CAL "100kHz to 5,42GHz" again.
?
And then the Self test again and now all Test passed two times again. ( picture 4 )
?
?
And the third time it failed again Test 8: Passband failed again, everything else passed ( picture 5 )
?
?
And the fourth and fifth time Self test all passed again.
?
Then i did the Level CAL "100kHz to 5,42GHz" again and Self Test again Test 8: Passband failed again ( Picture 6 )
?
?
The next two Self test all Test passed again.
?
The third Self test on Test 8 Passband failed again ( Picture 7 )
?
?
Should I return it to Eleshop and get a new one ? Are the Values of of Test 8 off by so much or just minimally off ?

Hi,
""So you don't want reports of new clones of your hardware?? Am I getting that right?""
yup ....? there's pretty much nothing that can e done about the clone sites anyway
""If so, that's fine and will leave it at that.? Just thought I was helping out.""
The best "help" is to post the info on where the genuine products are available from that way it aims people to the good stuff rather than the garbage :)? eg ....

lists all the safe places to buy?
