In my opinion you did not make a mistake for your purposes. I have been
using the "F" model for quite some time and am pleased with it. Upgrading
the "F" is far simpler than the others. All you need to do is:
1. connect the "F" to the computer via an USB cable
2. Download the upgrade, and unzip.
3. Press the center button or the rocker switch and turn the unit on. The
NanoVNA will become a drive to the computer.
4. Copy the upgrade files to the root directory of the NanoVNA-F.
5. Power cycle the NanoVNA-F.

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!
