Re: First PCB pictures of the V2


 

I have to agree with this, I have a NanoVNA-F and I use it a lot more than the smaller model purely because I can see it. I would be happy to pay extra for a bigger display and as a consequence a bigger battery. I do not know how many units you need to sell and at what profit to make any project viable but a 3GHz VNA 5 inch display would be worth $180-200. I think that you can sell several hundred units at that price point.

People with disposable income in this hobby tend to be older and tend to have failing eyesight. A big display is very important.

Thank you Herb, So much traffic, I missed the specs.

Dale,
I'd like to add a correction regarding the display size:

Gabriel indicated in her previous message that a working proto-type is
already available using a 3.2" ILI9341 display. A 4" ST7796S display is
being evaluated as an option by menu-driven switchover. Her team will
make a decision about whether to offer two versions for sale.
I would also like to add my voice to the many that would want to purchase
this with a larger screen.

How does the larger screen you may or may note use compare with the 4.3" on
the NanoVNA-F? The 4.3" of the -F is more attractive than 4" for obvious
reasons, but how about pixel count, and other technical features about the
screen.

I don't know if I'm unusual, but for me, the screen is more important than
the pure performance, as great performance is no use if you can't see the
blinking thing. Of course, if you are going to use it in a lab, with a PC
interface, the screen is pretty irrelevant. But there seem to be enough
people wanting a decent screen. The 6.5" on my iPhone XS max would be nice.
Ouch, that phone was ?1250, so it's not a fair comparison! But seriously,
size matters. ?????
