Re: Pro or Con


 

I bought a RigExpert AA-600 a few months ago. I got it directly from them
with the Smith Chart option. It also measures L, C and R and has a TDR
function. So far I have been very impressed.

I have yet to explore the possibilities of the NanoVNA H4. From what I have
read, I should be impressed wit it, too. We have various HP VNA's at work
that cover up to 750 and 1500 MHz.

Dan,

I own a MFJ-259B and a nanoVNA H3.2

The MFJ is used for field-day operating or when I assist other hams:
checking antennas or tuning them, checking coaxcables, etc.
The nanoVNA is in my shack, connected to pc + nanoSaver. The nano is
used for all kinds of RF measurements.

Love them both, my MFJ is still working fine (test it on a regular basis
on different loads), bought it in 1999 together with the MFJ carrying
pouch. Looking back: a good buy.

73,

I am preparing to purchase my first antenna analyzer product. I have an
old MFJ-209 which has neither meters nor frequency readout. I love to
build antennas, especially for my ham club.
Can any of you give a reason pro or con as to why nanovna vs MfJ 259
series. I presume many are nanovna users due to the lower cost. Is there
any tradeoff that would discourage either?
