Looks like there may be damage to a Tx/LNA port.

@Zack, do you have anything to suggest?

Hi @rohit.soni,

Update the firmware to the latest and try LimeQuickTest again, please. If the same problem remains, then contact CrowdSupply for replacement.

Hi @Zack,
Did update on the same board. The firmware still did not updated and the LimeUtil --update command says no need to update and stays on 22 version.
logs below after running test again.

Can you provide CroudSupply contact link so I can request replacement?

Hello @andrewback , Any update on error message?

Old software then ?
The current gateware for LimeSDR-USB hardware revision 1.4, since 2020-05-21 is version 2, revision 23 which was officially released 2020-10-29 ( ref: https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-USB_GW/blob/master/src/revision/revision.vhd#L17 )
