Is there a command or procedure for verifying the firmware on an Airspy Mini ?
Received a Mini today from Airspy.us and currently running at -m12.
No problems. Gain at 20.
Thanks.

I’m not familiar with the commands, if any, but if you install SDR#, the AirSpy software, the firmware is shown under the radio tab.
Thanks.
Mine is also 1.37.
That’s the program version for airspy_adsb, not the firmware version.
Anyway the firmware hasn’t changed in a while, so you’ll have the most current firmware.
If you really want to check, using SDR# on a Windows PC is the easiest option.

I just checked my Airspy R2 firmware and this is what I got:
sorin@Ubuntu-Latitude-E6420:~$ airspy_info

Board ID Number: 0 (AIRSPY)
Firmware Version: AirSpy NOS v1.0.0-rc10-3-g7120e77 2018-04-28
Part ID Number: 0x6906002B 0x00000030

Exactly like in the case of Airpsy Mini (that shows max 6MSPS, but it can work at 10), the firmware in this case doesn’t list all the capabilities (no 6MSPS option, shows max 10MSPS when it can work at 12). I learned to live with that, probably no software uses those numbers as indications for anything.
What’s curious is the de name of the device is not R2, it’s “NOS”.
