Thanks for the clarification!
For some reason the Version 2 devs think that they can only offer
a $50. price-point device with a small display.
For some reason they don't see that offering a "B" (or some other
nomenclature) version - at a higher price - makes good business
sense.
Indeed - someone could offer one without a display at all - and
just provide a micro-HDMI connector (like the Raspberry Pi4).
IMHO, YMMV ... David KD4E

Isn't there a 3rd path - the "2"? "H" has the best firmware but older
hardware & small display, "B" larger display & some hardware updates, but
older firmware, "2" about to release newer hardware & firmware but small
display. Sure wish they'd combine efforts.

David,
Currently we have the following products being sold:
1. 2.8" NanoVNA (Hugen's MOD of edy555's original open source project). All 2.8" devices marketed as" NanoVNA" are also clones of the open source project.
2. 2.8" NanoVNA-H (Hugen added the "-H" suffix to his product to distinguish it from other clones being sold.) His NanoVNA-H product also has a plastic case, has the diode mounted for battery voltage monitoring, has proper USB-C terminators and the firmware has been upgraded to at least ver 0.2.3.2. Cost is still around the US $50.00 range.
3. 4.3" NanoVNA-F (BH5HNU's NanoVNA with a larger screen, different operating system and different firmware.)
Version 2 NanoVNA's probably won't appear on the scene until into the New Year. There is not a lot of incentive for cooperation. Each product designer has a small window to re-coop his or her efforts before the cloner's reverse engineer their pcb designs and cut their profits.
