Update as promised:
Today, Thursday 26th September 2019 the status of my order from TomTop updated by '17 Track' to "arrived at local Post Office".
I have collected, paid a nominal customs charge (shipping details reflected lower value than purchase + 'Trade sample') and unit was adequately packed (small box with single layer of bubble wrap inside small poly courier packet) with no sign of damage.
Unpacking and initial inspection the legend on front is missing 'Ch 0'as noted by Garry but otherwise all looks correct.
No battery fitted (description on web site makes mention of this) and main board has a 2 pin polarized connector for a battery.
Fitted an old but 'new and unused' Blackberry JM1 battery via direct wiring to rear of connector. Battery is attached to rear panel using double sided tape and although protrudes a couple of mm from bottom, is acceptable.
Powering up the first observation is that both LED's are green (colour is of no consequence) and display, touch input and toggle rocker switch is working.
I have removed the original protective film from the display with intention to cover using suitable size cut from a tablet screen protector.
Charging battery via USB C connector resulted in flashing LED for about 4 min's and then steady as fully charged state achieved.
Accessories included 2 cables and the calibration items (4 in total).
Now to start a new learning curve <smile>.
Any suggestions as to where should start and perhaps a series of 'exercises' (including calibration) so as to have a logical plan to become proficient at using the NanoVNA? Sure would appreciate any guidance from those who have already journeyed down this path - MANY thanks in advance if you can point me in the correct direction.
I am happy that air mail postal delivery (at no extra cost) to South Africa has worked and that I have a seemingly working unit. As to specifics, that is something to report on at a later date.
Wishing all everything of the best learning / using the NanoVNA.
