Yes, to be sure i just did again a serie of tests and combinations 
on known FM frequencies using SDR Sharp. Not sure what else we can 
try beside it being a DOA unit :(

I just hate to ship it back and most likely wait till next year for 
a new unit beside the shipping costs i have to pay again. (not to 
mention customs bleeding people dry for anything outside the EU)
