This device does surprisingly well for it's price. Although the screen is very small, the unit exhibits many features that you wouldn't expect in this price range. Actually, I'm shocked this device even exists in this price range.
We discuss dBm attenuation requirements and ways to get the power you are pushing into the device, down to a level that won't burn it up.
Hope this helps you to get up and going with the TinySA, and keeps you from burning this device up on first use!
The TinySA Sectrum Analyzer has many many features that were not covered in this video. I'm planning followup video(s) as I find out more and more about this ridiculously under priced tool.

Enjoy!
