Hi Evan Did you also test using another USB cable ?
Kind regards Kurt ? ? ? I did check on the Device Manager for the port.? I did not see the TinySA or a port that could be the TinySA (an unknown port).? I did this for 5 different computers.

I assume you did try a different USB cable and the tinySA was switched on when testing the connection?
Is the red led next to the USB connector blinking and the battery charging?

Erik,
I now cannot get the TinySA to show up on any of the 4 Windows10 computers that I have tried.? ?As I stated in my first email, it did respond for a short time after I rebooted my computer.? Now it will not respond at all.
Is there a hard reset that I can try to see if that will allow the USB connection?

A new tinySA.exe is available that automatically sets these to the right value. If you loose connection, unplugging the tinySA USB and plugging back and?exit and restart tinySA.exe should be sufficient, I never had to reboot my PC

HI Robin (G8DQX),
Thank you for forwarding that PDF document directly to my ARRL email address.
After carefully following the instructions, the TinySA GUI came up!? My next step is to connect it to my TinySA.
Your patience is very much appreciated!? Thanks again!

Andy,
1) the login was to groups.io for your list
account (you may not have one, depending on how you signed up to
this list)
2) a direct copy of the document is on its way to your
ARRL email address
3) one can only hope that it's worth it when this gets
sorted. It certainly was for the nanoVNA-Saver
HTH, 73, Stay Safe,

Hi Robin (G8DQX),
Thank you for your reply.? I clicked on your link, but it
doesn't bring me to a PDF file.? It brings me to the nanovna
website for a login.? I don't have an account there.
I found instructions on the internet for setting up a Python
Virtual Environment.? I set one up, and then tried to install
PyQt5, and got exactly the same error.? :-(

Re: Error building TinySA-saver on Linux (AHRL v24/Ubuntu 18.04.4)
Andy,
you could try the procedure documented here: /g/nanovna-users/files/Nano%20VNA%20Saver/nanoVNA-H4%20software%20support%20under%20Ubuntu.pdf.
In essence, it involves using a Python Virtual Environment
(PVE) so that the VNA Saver (using Python 3.7) is fully
decoupled from the native Python 3.6 used by Ubuntu 18.04, thus
resolving the dependency issues.
And it requires python3-pip to be installed at an early
stage, so that Python 3.7 can bootstrap the required later version
of pip.
Any questions, please ask. (It took a while to sort out and fully
understand.)
73,
Robin, G8DQX

issue.
Thank you for your help!

Re: tinySA listed on Aliexpress
All I’ve had was an order confirmation from Aliexpress saying ordered via Zeenko but seen no details about ship dates or tracking so far. ? Regards ? Nigel ?

I purchased mine from the initial link posted on here and shortly after got an email from Maggie asking me to confirm full name.
On Monday 3rd I received another confirming "it is on the way", by Zeenco.cn and signed off by Maggie, however when checking my online account it neither shows order or tracking number, is this the experience you or anyone else here has had?
Praying Ive not been stung.

Re: tinySA listed on Aliexpress
I got an acknowledgment of my purchase and in that message it said delivery is expected in October. It isn't October yet so I am not getting excited :) Mine will still be new when some of the others are worn out <sly grin>.

Not if it's signed by Maggie, you haven't.? I ordered mine on the day it was announced - the 23rd, I think - and just got it yesterday.? Others that ordered after I did got theirs before I got mine.? I think at this point in time, shipping is about as predictable as radio propagation.

Re: Tiny SA arrived today.
According to the email, mine also arrived in the country. In reality, he arrived in Liege (BE) by plane last night.
From there, a minimum of a week until you actually arrive. Patience creates a device.

Re: Error building TinySA-saver on Linux (AHRL v24/Ubuntu 18.04.4)
Hi Andy,
You will find a requirements.txt in the nanovna-saver source file.zip
This includes the modules to be installed, which are required to work under Python.
These are worth checking, they are needed for proper operation.

Re: tinySA listed on Aliexpress
? At the initial stage they sometimes leave the goods for a number of days in quarantine – probably a safety process to allow any trace of virus to decay before it is handled and processed for actual shipment. Some of the shipping processes actually state ‘quarantine’. Some don’t seem to apply a tracking number until they start moving out of the holding stage. ? Mike ? ? ? ?
