I missed it this time. I wonder when they restock them.
A word on the included cal kit: The "thru" piece desperately needs a knurl! It's hardly possible to properly attach the DUT or cal kit, with only turning the nuts to avoid abrasion on the center contacts.
The double-female "through" piece that comes with the V2 and also V2 plus4 is completely round. Impossible to hold it firmly. I have another SMA cal kit that at least has a knurled "midriff". No proper face for a wrench, but the knurl at least allows holding it firmly.

I was told that they will restock them in about 2 weeks.
Thx Segger JLink should work or?

So you want something like these?

It looks like Digikey stocks at least one.

How does the new Nano handle the thru?
Did yours come with the stainless connector/cable? It looked like the standard was blue with gold plate.
The only real problem I saw when putting the plastic case that came with the V2+ together was the switches were not installed flat into the PCB. The would interfere with the holes.
the trick is... be gratefull we got solt kit + good cables included at all, at much much less than $1K of damage... if i want to complaint, then its the open and short butt have same appearance, the open should have a little hole on the butt so we can easily recognize. but well what can i say for something that i (assume) got for basically free.
Also, at $130 the V2plus4 is not "cheap" cheap.
Did yours come with the stainless connector/cable? It looked like the standard was blue with gold plate.the steel cable is huber-suhner cable. i keep the blue cable safely for real job. the huber suhner cable is a little bit out of spec so i will torture that first.The only real problem I saw when putting the plastic case that came with the V2+ together was the switches were not installed flat into the PCB. The would interfere with the holes.mine is aligned quite well. if they are not aligned, you can try turning them around up or down. the enclosure designer is clever enough to make none symetrical notch dimension so its unlikely you can install them wrong, if it should be the other way around, you'll see the notches and holes wont fit. my problem with buttons is they are too closely placed, i have to press with nail. if i press with finger, i'll press 2 buttons simultaneously.
Also, at $130 the V2plus4 is not "cheap" cheap.super-used old 3GHz HP/Agilent VNA still in range of $2K price tag. the 6GHz version is $3K, if they ever reach $1K range, i will grab one if i have some money saved, i guarantee you this. but that time still not here yet. Deepace KC901V is $2K. so blessed the NanoVNA birth. i agree with you, its not wrong to make suggestion for improvement, what i'm afraid, they will find better option as suggested, but increase the price as a result. if we need better cal kit, we can get from other sources. Kirkby Microwave provides both male and female at $500, guaranteed tracability to whatever HP/Agilent VNA he's using, he also provides respond plots for the kit, each are manually hand tuned and characterized for a week after payment with unique serial number (i guess if he is like me, he will keep data files for each set he's characterising in case customers come back to him due to lost data files). another China option that i searched provides only one gender at $200 with no characterization nor guarantee whatsoever. another is SDR kit etc and others cheaper version, you get what you paid. i tell you, with current world's VNA state, $100 is cheap! cheers.
Not being able to torque a connector at 4GHz, how does that work?
Something like this might do the job but I'll need to find one with good enough parameters:
