Re: Would like to report a new fake chinese hardware for TinySA
Peter...Sorry for the misdirection of my comment.
I was on my first cup of coffee. I'm using that as an excuse.

Absolutely agree. It wasn’t me advocating reporting the

Re: Would like to report a new fake chinese hardware for TinySA
Prawlin...You would just be playing whack-a-mole.
It's like trying to blacklist spam IP addresses or telephone
numbers. More just pop up.
It is a pointless exercise.
Listing the authorized sources is the only reasonable way to
direct folks to a reliable source.
My 2 cents...

The rule regarding clones is very very simple. *Only* ever
buy from sellers on the ?specific recommended sellers list…….
All other sources are very likely to be illegal fake
clones. The marketplace is awash with them. There’s a couple
of approved sellers on Amazon, but loads of Amazon sellers are
not approved. Please don’t assume that the Amazon marketplace
is somehow better than EBay, Aliexpress etc etc. When you buy
on Amazon, you are generally not actually buying *from*
Amazon, just via the Amazon marketplace system. Peter

I understand you can take a pic with a phone etc, just wondering if I've missed something.
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.

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
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.
