VNA buying aid

 

Hi,

I like to replace my first edition NanoVNA with a newer, read better one.

Can you advise me a good model that runs with the Nanovna-saver program and does not break the bank?

NanoVNA-H4

NanoVNA v2 Plus4

Have you checked the homepage(s). Like and
I can recommend V2 Plus4 Pro V2.4, it costs 299$ plus 18650 battery. But today I would try to buy pro version at 399.

There are several Group IO forum for VNAs. For instance /g/NanoVNAV2/topics
 

Nanovna-H4 is a great basic vna, if you don't need multiple GHz
frequencies. It runs the latest firmware and is actively supported. And
you should be able to get one for less than $100

I would strongly recommend buying from R&L Electronics. You won't get a
clone from them!! Here is the link to them for the NANOVNA-H4:




No connection to them other than having bought a number of NANOVNAs (too
many as they progressed) and TinySAs from them.

What ever you buy, I'd recommend using its "official shop". There are links on the homepage.
 

I don't see much mention of the SAA-2N v2.2 Does everyone recommend the H4 over the SAA-2N?
The price difference is not of concern I am more concerned about functionality and support.

I like my SAA-2N, it is the one I generally reach for in the shack. It works fine with external programs or standalone, updates work fine, and I like the type N connectors, as my shack is mostly type N. The provided cables and calibration standards appear to be of high quality and performance. Got mine from R&L. Highly recommended and I have been using VNAs since the '70s and am pretty picky about instruments.

Seconded. I bought mine there, along with two sets of adapters. No complaints...
