| Nano VNA like sand on the sea- Who is the "good one" ? |

Hi folks, Quick question: I just want to play around with a VNA and a cheap Nano VNA seems to be the perfect solution. However, if you search for it, there are countless variants. Which one is the "good" one, which one should I get? Thanks in advance. Martin |

There are different screen sizes and bandwidths etc. I don't know if there is the one "good one". I have one of the cheapest (as always) from the "SeeSii Factory Store Store" which seems trustworthy/recommended: a NanoVNA-H. It has an SD card slot, the inputs are shielded, you can update the firmware from the usual sources and I got a pretty big battery (1300mAh), but don't know if that's standard. It's good enough for me. More expensive ones are probably better if you have a use for them. |

For the Nano, the H4 is recommended by a lot of people. I just bought a LiteVNA, which is a bit faster than the Nanos. What is even more important is to buy it from reputable sources. Because there are a lot of interior clones out there. They might be missing the shielding. Or the PCB is not impedance controlled. Or the cal kit which comes with it is trash. |

Martin --- End quote --- As you said, they are cheap, and if you just want to play, I don't think it really matters too much. Later as you refine your requirements, you can always buy something that better fits. I continue to use the LiteVNA64 for some experiments.
