If you are buying a Tiny SA make sure it is from a reputable supplier. The TinySA is trademarked and is NOT open source. There are clones out there that do NOT work. The cloners often use a counterfeit shipping box and are even loading modified firmware to bypass the self test. You can detect a fake by loading the latest firmware and running a self test. Clones will fail because they did not copy the circuit correctly.
There is an updated list of reputable suppliers. A UK supplier has now been removed from this list after selling fakes again. More details below.

The tiny can do more samples with this software than standing alone. You will find a lot of other info too on this page:

This one adds a feature to step the frequency and level while in LO output. Very useful to step the level in 1 dB or 10 dB steps.
