Checking for legitimacy


 

开云体育

Hi – I just received a TinySA from a vendor listed as legit.? On the back of the unit, for the serial number, is just says “SA-“ and then nothing after that.? Just checking to make sure that this isn’t a clone.

?

Thanks – Steve, KW4H


 

Try updating the firmware and running the self-test.? Clones will fail.

I upgraded, ran the self-test, and got an “attenuator fail”.? Ran the self-test more than once.?

It does look like we made it, but the attenuator is broken, we suggest you contact your supplier for a new tinySA. we will provide the supplier with a new tinySA host.

Thanks. ?The supplier was R&L. ?They’re good people, I’ll contact them. ?Unfortunately this will be the second exchange, because the first one had display problems (dark spots on the right side of the screen). ?
