Thank you again, Paul, for sharing this tip! I love how the tinySA developers recognize it’s only a matter of time before clones appear on the market. Sadly, a true sign of the times…
I have one on pre-order from R&L. I have been wanting a basic VNA, and ~$50 without having to deal with the production variations in clones is a good deal IMO.
^Not VNA. I meant SA. Anyway. 🙂
Looks FANTASTIC!
I want one. :^)
