NanoVNA V3 (6GHz)

Mechatrommer:
browsing nano vna 6ghz today... it's been a year since i mentioned it to OwO and he said it's under development... but today its already up in their official site https://nanorfe.com/nanovna-v3.html but not in production nor for sale yet... checking in tindie also zero.. but when i check aliexpress, man i guess its not long before entering madness stage... LibreVNA 6GHz now available at $399 (but poor noise floor > 3GHz compared to what is claimed in nanorfe site), the "other" NanoVNA 6GHz are also there just for $248, but unlike official NanoVNA V3 that claims 100kHz min limit, they are only down to 23MHz... so i suspect when the official version is up, there will be many more variants adding to the noise. if the $400 tag and 100dB noise up to 6GHz claim as in the official nanorfe site is true, then this is a worth time to wait for the official version of NanoVNA V3... to OwO, (given the reputation) please let us know when your V3 is up for sale asap  :-+, fwiw.

--- Quote ---It depends how many people are interested. Once there is sufficient people on the waitlist the production can start, so the more people we get interested in this the faster it can be made available.

this sounds not too good. i've been waiting for eons. how long the waitlist will be filled up to acceptable amount? forever i guess? which should come first, the supply? or the demand? 6,10,20 GHz supply have been around for decades, and people/company will still buy it. why OwO you just tell your production man to start production, once its in Tindie or Ali i'm pretty sure people and young people in the future will buy it. :-//

At a $500 price point you can expect the preorder queue to fill slowly. This is for a hobbyist already in the "serious money" category. The more money you need to spend on something, the more you're going to question your needs to actually have it. I bought a V2 with the large display and metal case. It fulfills all my measurement needs. I'm not looking for a 6GHz instrument. I'd appreciate a 120dB dynamic range, but I can't justify spending $500 on it.

It's easy to suggest how to proceed when you're not the one taking the risk.   While I signed up, I think part of the problem was we never heard back what the specs would end up with.  I want that lower frequency, wide dynamic range and while they stated they were looking into it, we never heard back.   Many, rightfully so, will want to see it in action before they pull the trigger.   $500 would be cheap if they could pull it off.

if they dont know how its worth, then they should not even buy the 3GHz version.. even the Ali $50 knockoff version.

if they are afraid, they can send me the design and let me order pcb and parts from lcsc/jlcpcb, assemble it with my hand for my personal usage  :palm:
