It has long been established that R&L electronics is one of the most reputable sources of the NanoVNA, if not THE most reputable source. This link brings up a search on all the variants of the NanoVNA

there seems to be a debate as to where or how to purchase a nanoVNA. They are all made in various factories in Mainland China. the issue is not so much (in my mind) if it is a clone as in reality they

Here's the deal.... NanoVNA is very excellent and has complex abilities. It operates over a wide range of Frequencies and will test or can be used for developing devices besides Antenna.s However it r

I am also using windows 11. First I would remove the driver you installed as I have a feeling that is causing your problems. For the record, I didn't even bother installing a driver and on my system i

It depends on what you want to do. Both the NanoVNA and some antenna analyzers do things the other doesn't. The NanoVNA can be used for a wide range of functions an antenna analyzer can't do. I also h

I have a NanoVNA-H4 and a RigExpert Stick Pro. They have a lot of overlapping use cases but I do use them both for different purposes * NanoVNA for constructing antennas and dialling them in at home o

I have a RigExpert Pro up to 600MHz, and just picked up a NanoVNA-4 to get 915 for mesh. Wow, what a quagmire I’ve stumbled into! I actually was after an SWR appliance, and I’m hoping I’ll find a simp

Some points which seems to have been left out of this conversation are that the nanoVNA and clones have not only TWO ports but also vector(phase) measurements and error correction, which greatly incre

FYI, nanovna-saver is a Python app, so should not be limited in any way to a specific Linux distro - anything that can run Python3 should be able to run it.

Many thanks for the post! What version of Ubuntu are you running the nanovna-saver on? gmail.com@groups.io> wrote:

This is a common sense observation. Yet it is the only way to learn. I would advise you to use your nanoVNA from the start through software like nanaovna-saver. This will already prevent you from gett

Thank you, gentlemen, for your insights regarding the NanoVNA. I kinda figured at the onset there was going to be a learning curve - and I hope I'm up to the challenge. (I'm not getting any younger, a

More info: I had tried the 2 apps (nanovna-app and nanovna-saver) on Ubuntu 20.04 64 bit laptop, and neither ran. I then downloaded VNA_View-x86_64.AppImage, right clicked it, and ran it. I got the pr

Yes, if one has never used a vector network analyzer (VNA) or even a scalar analyzer, the learning curve is steep. But you will learn a whole bunch that you can carry forward to other projects. The NA

If you already have 26 responses, another can't hurt. The nano vna does have a learning curve, but what doesn't? If you're an appliance user, go ahead and get a dedicated tool. If however you want to

Hello, The Comet is only good to 500Mhz. The NanoVNA H and H4 will go to 1300Mhz. Also I have used both and find the NanoVNA 's much more useful than just an analyzer. As far as ease of use, the NanoV

The Comet CAA-500 MKII antenna analyzer is far easier to use for your stated purpose than the NanoVNA. Is a bit pricy but sooo much easier to use with no learning curve. If you have an SWR issue that

Antenna analyzer is much easier to use and the best of the bunch for ease of use is the Comet CAA-500 MKII. Connect your antenna, turn it on, select the band/freq. and see your measurement on both a m
