I bought a NanoVNA-H v3.6 recently and I am happy with it. I use it mainly
for antenna tuning.
Here is my little 'NanoVNA for Antenna Tuning: A Beginner's Guide':
Other uses which I have tried are:
Measuring the characteristic impedance of a coax.
Measuring length of a coax (actually distance to first fault).
Testing a unun for End Fed Half Wave Antenna.
There are many more which I am yet to learn and try out and you will
certainly learn from the posts on this group with many experts.
I chose a previous version as it was cheaper and my friend told me that it
is enough for my type of basic use. It was bought from another VU ham's
online store.
I was also confused like you for about two years and kept looking for a
reliable source till my friend recommended one after he had used it.
Please note that it is a very delicate piece of equipment to be used with
extreme care. Some have lost it by inadvertently transmitting while NanoVNA
is connected to another nearby antenna.

Looking at the number of different versions available on Amazon, I'm
confused. Although not an abnormal state for me, I try to keep it to a
minimum.
Can the group make some recommendations for a nanoNVA version fo antenna
tuning and other uses not known to a new user on a nanoNVA?
thanks for any recommendtions,
Bob
