Buying the tinySASafe places to buy an original tinySA
If the tinySA is listed as Pre-order it means there is currently no stock but a next batch of tinySA is being manufactured and as soon as these are available (usually within one month) the pre-ordered products will be shipped in order sequence. Where to buy the tinySA UltraThe tinySA Ultra sells out quickly in all stores. Stock levels are expected to be very low the coming weeks.
Other stores will be added in the future. Be aware of bad performing illegal copy products.Much effort went into the tinySA to ensure accurate measurements over the entire frequency range. This is however only possible when using the original high quality components. Clones use lower quality components with incorrect reverse engineered component values and because of this the clones have a far worse performance. Unless you can compare the tinySA to another good spectrum analyzer you will not be able to detect the bad performance of a clone. The following sellers have sold at least one illegal clone:
How to recognize a cloned tinySAThe cloners copied everything, included packaging, trademarked name and logo. If the serial number of your tinySA starts with AD its a clone. ![]() If the serial number is later then SA-2104, the HW version on the back should be V0.3.1_E: ![]() If the serial number is later then SA-2201, the HW version on the back should be V0.3.1_EL, and should have the CE and FCC marks. ![]() If its V0.3 like below its a clone ![]() The cloners use a patched firmware to prevent failing of the selftest. After upgrading the firmware you may get failures in the selftest but the selftest is based on possible component variations after full validation in manufacturing, which is not guaranteed with a clone. |
