Re: NanoVNA vs. MFJ-259B Antenna Analyzer


 

I own a Mano vna and I threw it in the toolbox and just paid the 360 bucks
for the mfj with the wall wart without hesitation. Nano vna is junk. I
have had nothing but problems. I've boughten two now and they were both
junk. The first one the person I bought it from got mad that I had put the
wrong address and sent me a returned item that was broken. I gave up
claiming the replacement because the seller was obviously a pos that hates
life. And tokk their own hatred out on me. When I was just another paying
customer. I needed it then and there and instead of just sending me a good
one they told me to send it back and they would replace it. All set. Next
one had issues too from an entire different seller. Goes to show the
quality you can expect from a stupid 50 dollar pc of test equipment. Nope
I'll stick with the pros. And the fact is.... The Nano vna is used for
different things. It's good for circuit analysis. Like for my amplifiers
and testing my transformers impedance. But as far as big boy Jobs and
measuring inductance on my coils n such and my antenna tuning I'll stick
with the mfj. People only speak highly of the Nano vna because it's a cheap
way out to KIND OF do the job. And I've seen soooooo many bad reviews of
bad experiences with buying the nano vna. It's hit or miss. You MIGHT get a
fully functional unit. But your odds of getting screwed with a junk one....
Are JUST as good. I'll spend the money and get what the PROS use. Forget
the nano vna
Just a cheap Chinese knock off type TOY

I just watched VE3OSO's comparison video and had a chuckled at the end lol.

I've been thinking for a while just how peed off MFJ must be now that we
have these extremely useful little VNA's, especially with how much they
cost. MFJ's sales must have taken a hit I should imagine.
