I have the H H4 SAA2N and the F models and use them in different applications. If you intend to use it outdoors I strongly recommend the F model with the pushbuttons. It has the brightest display which is necessary outdoors.
The buttons are easier to control? than the thumbwheel switch.
The different vnas have different adapters, such as BNC, UHF and N connectors. I use BNC, UHF and BNC OSLThru cal kits for each device.

Hi guys, this is my first post here, I would like an advice to buy a new
VNA, my main operation is till 50MHz, but eventually I can operate till
1.2GHz, what would be a good VNA to buy, H4; F; SAA.
Can anyone recommend one.
Thanks

Welcome to the group, Nuno.
Do take a look at the Wiki:
/g/nanovna-users/wiki
Whatever you get, buy from the original manufacturer if at all possible.
Avoid
clones! I have several NanoVNA models and am happy with the H4 and its SMA
connectors (the H4 is reputed to need regular charging every few months as
the
physical on-off switch still leaves some slight drain).
Consider whether you want to use it outdoors, and whether SMA or N-type
connectors are better for you. Do you need to measure crystal filters?
Others will doubtless chip in with their own choice!
