I'm gonna tell the world; you're a dirty little girl!
Someone grab that bitch by the neck!
Rub her down, scrub her back,
Turn her inside out!
'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she'
Let me tell you now, I bet she...
Oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in years.

Oh, oh
Ah, ah
Yes, I bet she, oh, I bet she,
Oh, now, I bet she, yeah I bet she,
Oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in years...

The little Cologne V4; what were they, a 1500...? 1300...? Ghahhh.  :palm:   Can you believe I scratch-built headers for that fuxxoring little automotive backbirth? I thought it'd be just like my Cologne-V6 Spitfire project, only more room to work. Well that part was true... every time I'd swing a wrench, my elbow would go through some newly discovered rust spot.  |O

In my case it's because it's difficult to find one that isn't a shitty Chinese low ball version. They have TERRIBLE supply chain and cloning issues and half the official resellers are shipping junk ones out. The fake ones used to fail cal but they now load in firmware which ignores that cal step  :palm: :palm: :palm:.

Yep,
That's why I just bought a DG8SAQ V3 VNA. SDRkits sell them but I picked up a used one on ebay. At £145 inc shipping it's more than a nanoVNA and does not have a screen but is a far better VNA.

In other news the internet and cable TV had been out from about 13:30 to 20:10 because some idiot dug up the fibre  :palm:

I was considering buying DG8SAQ VNA, too. The entry level price is approx 300 GBP and it was over my budget. It may be a better soundcard  ;D but I didn't really care about the performance because both devices are decent when compared to a professional VNA. They are comparable to a certain degree and good enough to do simple VNA measurements.

I just wanted a portable VNA device with a display for quick measurements. Joe Smith also released an excellent VNA measurement software which adds a ton of usability to the device. I've used DG8SAQ VNA at uni few years ago and it was a great tool although the software is kinda meh (Windows only, limited functionality, "crappy" interface) but people seem to be happy with it.
