Sure, I'm an engineer. I've been using professional VNAs for some
40-years. I salute the creators of the NANOVNAs! It works just like the
professional units and quite intuitive to me. Keep it up. I have no
problem with the "complexity" of the NANOVNAs.
You would be much happier with the Rig Expert offerings as they are
designed as a technician tool at the top of the tower.
Leave the NANOVNAs alone.

OP: Your thoughts are legit, but you will face lots of opposition from
existing users and from the developers, as these VNAs are designed to have
every possible feature and are built to perform just enough above the
lowest possible performance standards to keep costs to a minimum and folks
buying.
THEY ARE NOT BUILT AT ALL FOR EASE OF USE.
As a comparison, compare and contrast a ham radio built by hams, but
incorporating DSP/SDR elements...to an SDR built by non-ham programmers. :)
One is easy to use while the other is like using C++ as a radio
interface...in a translated language...with inverted colors...
My phone has a dual interface, which would be welcome on hobbyist VNAs. In
full-feature mode it's the latest and greatest version of Android. In
"easy" mode it lacks many features but is super easy to use for common
tasks.
Hint, hint, developers?

Hello.
I just wanted to ask if there is any interest from the community or the
developers to make the menu easy for radio amateurs, for people that are
not engineers? Currently the menu is a big mess with a lot of options and
sub-options and so on. So if you want to make a simple measure, you have to
go in many menus to change many settings. I know this gives a lot of
control, but I will be very nice to have a few buttons on the main screen,
like a main menu, that take you to the most used measurements, with all of
the settings already set, with bigger font and a few buttons to change some
settings only to that current measurement. I also do not know if this is
something that the hardware supports.
