They also make this too, apparently-
Note the "powered by SDRplay" on it. Let's see what SDRplay has to say-
"If it says “from China” avoid – there are no genuine international resellers from China that we know of, apart from MyHamPlace who sell within China."
Nah. I'd pass. Points for having an antenna port for multiple bands though. Looks cool but I wouldn't trust it
RSP1 Receiver SDR Radio 10K-2GHz Software Defined Radio For Ham Radio Enthusiast | eBay
Fits platforms for Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Android. It perfectly supports mainstream software, such as for SDR Sharp, HDSDR, SDR consol, GNURadio, and SDR Touch. (Devices for Android need to support OTG).

what is with the 'woman' holding flower on the bottm right of the board ?
I was just joking. Maybe you just need the proper USB driver. Check their website, maybe you can download it. Good luck!
To be fair as soon as it arrived I expected it to be D.O.A. The package was the standard China smashed box. That was expected and not a concern. The concerns started after opening the box to find the p.c.b. was in a standard Ziplock bag. I thought right then that unless this thing is impervious to static and X-ray it was dun.
It is suppose to run in SDRSharp as an RSP1 but when plug into the usb it is not seen at all, not even an unknown device or usb fault.
I have not given up hope on this model and there appears to be a lot of people selling them so I will give it another try from another seller in the next couple of weeks. If anyone is interested
I found this one on AlieExpress for $21 after shipping.
As I am an old analog guy and certainly not a computer wiz. If anyone gets involved with one of this type os similar. I would like to hear how it is going!

Does that mean that it now works?
Also, when you study the PCB, does it appear that the USB functionality is embedded within the micro, or is there a stand-alone USB bridge chip?
There are perhaps four main USB bridge chips in common use, and several of them are pretty finicky about their driver.
You would hate to write off the board as a paperweight if it was only a driver issue.

Yes it is working sort of.
I have not used the SDRuno program before this. It will take some time before I can say much as to overall performance.
I have not figured out how to select antenna ports or if I can? If not I hope and suspect someone will eventually write a plug in. I think for the price this could be a big thing. For now it is using the 50 to 120MHZ port so Fm is about all I have for now to compare. My HackRf1 was static struck so all I can do is go by how I remember things. This new radio is much more sensitive with very few spurs appearing as signals and no mirroring of signals. It appears to have a stand alone USB chip but i do not see one.
In the first couple of trials I was able to clearly receive FM stations that the hack or RTLsdr could not even detect.
Here is a sight with more information and sells this P.C.B. for $21
That is it for now it is 3:30 AM and past my bed time.

They are directly controlled from the MSI chip depending of the monitored frequency and I don't know why they choose to not use the 250-400MHz filter input of the chip, omitting that frequency band.

Early adopters work with what they have, Cheap Yes, affordable loss, Yes
may or not do whats required, Yes.
I do know that the filtering i need here in Aust works perfect using this
model of the 12bit board

It switches to other antenna ports depending of the frequency and the filters are simple 2 pole ones so should be working ok. My dongle MSI seem to have the exact same filter ranges but sensitivity seems to vary depending of the frequency.

Words to live by...but there's no better feeling when you do find the rare good AND cheap
