Johan,

Today Amazon delivered a Radioberry from seller AURSINC

Here are photos of the board. Other Radioberry boards have had questions whether it was the current PC Board version or were there modifications required to make it current.

Can you tell if the board is up to date?

The note that was packed with the board makes no mention of the seller and refers to the Radioberry Github

As mentioned before; iam not involved in the production of the radioberry boards.

Looking to the board ; it is the same as Ron's board... so i guess it is the latest version.

Just give it a try...

Be careful. from the picture, I understand that FPGA and AD9866 ground not soldered!!

I looked at the underside of my AURSINC Radioberry board from Aliexpress with a magnifier, and noted that there was a bit of solder in several of the small grid of via's under the ADC and FPGA, just none in the larger thru-hole. So I am assuming the ground tab is soldered, just not with a lot of solder for perhaps better heat dissapation.

I also removed C256 to verify that there was no shorted via under C256. (Do I need to resolder C256?).

My AURSINC Radioberry board does appear to work (e.g. receives signals when connected to my Pi 4 and antenna, and run with the development fork of the firmware/gateware).

73,

Ron
