Why do you say that?
I personally would not buy MFJ, and a RigExpert purchased by my radio club
had an out of specification N connector. But I fail to see why your comment
is accurate.
Personally, I would not even consider MFJ,
me neither
One last comment: I've many times compared the NANO's to the HP 8753C
vector network analyzer in many different setups and different tasks.
Guess what? The NANO's compare extremely favorably with the (expensive) HP
8753C! The MFJ units do not, in most cases!!!!!
RF performance of an HP 8753C should be much better than a NanoVNA. The
last time I looked the NanoVNA could not handle calibration kits properly
without external software! That¡¯s pretty fundamental to getting decent
results in a portable unit.
