Well, I have many variants of the V2N...
Thanks Steve L, after much searching and going on wild goose chases, I
finally figured out how to get into the Windows 8 device manager
(Windows is not my native language.) It shows I indeed have the
Cypress driver installed and in use for the V2. I installed QT as
well, and it communicates with the V2 just fine so I'm pretty
confident it is not an issue with the device.
Perhaps I'll ask about this on the NanoVNA-V2 group.

screen, ¡°Black and Gold¡± from Hugen and a V2N; all use the same basic v2-2
board architecture and should respond identically to the Nanosaver program.
I have been playing with it this afternoon after wrestling all morning with
SH**hub trying to download it, loading more dlls etc, generally going round
in circles and cursing under my breath at anyone who came into the room..
All my vnaV2s are recognised without problems on Com10, on my Win 7
Panasonic Toughbook laptop.
BUT the latter two vnas (Black and Gold and V2N) have the Japanese software
loaded, and it crashes Nanovna. A bit of a bummer as I rather like the
Japanise versions. My original V2 (same board and uses same firmware as V2N,
apart from the screen driver) works fine on Saver, Its human interface
leaves something to be desired (ie clunky by my standards but ok if you are
a professional nerd). Interestingly it could drive my V2 up to 5.4Ghz,
although despite recalibrating in Saver, it gave a fairly poor performance
above 4ghz.
Try a rescan of ports and click on any possble channels displayed in the box
and then make sure the Cyress driver is installed. I found the driver
installer on the same SH**hub page as the Nanosaver program.
Hope this helps.
