If I can say a little something about this Idea.

A tracking generator would not cost a lot more in ressources and would
be a nice addon in a NanoSa.
And the possibility to add an amplifier to the TG to bring the level
to 30 DBm (1watt) would also be cool.

And lastly with the Generator in the TG, if you can modulate the
signal with a tone at a deviation level you can set, we could do some
really nice stuff.

With that said, I have a nice pelican box that could house all of
those nice device with a large rechargeable bank of Lithium/ion
battery lots of cable and adaptors. A Raspberry Pi4, 2 hdmi touche
screen And we have a portable RF labs..

Would it be wonderful if there would be, next to the nanoVNA, a nanoSA
or nano
Spectrum Analyzer?

Well I decided to test what the most simple SA could look like, just
good
enough to test the harmonics level of your signals till 400MHz and
some other,
not too complex, measurements.
Thanks for playing with this idea, Erik.
There was a comment from a Japanese NanoVNA user on Twitter comparing
the use of the Nano to an oscilloscope that is in the same price range but
has poor specs.
They gave an example of JYE Tech's 200KHz bandwidth scope kit for $30 vs
the Nano's capabilities - image attached.
At this time, there is not near enough memory to implement a scope
function - maybe in the version 2 device?
