While there are probably people on this list who can help with your question, you should probably address your question to the nanovna-f group at
/g/nanovna-f.
Having written that, WRT to the SW upgrade question, there are generally two reasons that the code is changed: to fix one or more bugs and/or to add feature/function. You probably want to upgrade the code if the new code contains a bug fix. If the new code only contains additional feature/function, it is up to you to decide whether or not you need or want the new feature/function. Note that if you do upgrade the code for any reason, you will automatically have the latest bug fixes and features and functions.

Okay. Here's my story: I recently returned a Nano H (the one with 4.0" screen) because although I bought a new one, the one sent was obviously used. In it's place I am awaiting delivery of a Nano-F (4.3"/metal box, etc).
My question is (and my mind is totally "fried" from reading bits and pieces about Nanos in general) did I make a mistake. I want the device for general antenna work. SWR, etc. I don't even expect to worry about using through devices. I am concerned, and more than a little bit confused, as to what to expect. I am not into lab type experimentation, I don't even want to attempt firmware upgrades (BTW, do I really have to?). I just want something to support "looking" at my ham antennas, tuning, etc. If a "F" is ordered, what does one get operationally? Is a nano a nano, a nano? Again, I'm not a rocket scientist (although reasonably technical especially with RF) and this purchase/research thing has been one of the most confusing I've ever been involved with!
Am I in the ballpark or did I make another mistake that I'll have to return? Thanks for insights!
