Herb,
Thanks for the information.? Obviously, I am new here, and do not own a unit yet.? I have a N2PK VNA, that has
now started to act up.? It is pretty much a laboratory piece of equipment, comparing very favorably with the HP unit.
But now it is sick, and was limited to 60Mhz.
So, now am going to buy the nano, but want a bigger screen.? My N2PK VNA is just a black box with which you MUST have
a PC.? Having a link to pc software is essential when doing circuit development.? One has to compare the old scan with the
latest one.
One comment I will make, and not to upset anyone, but there seemed to be a fixation on cost.? Take my viewpoint: I spent
$600 building my N2PK VNA, so getting a really great nano at, say, at $125 is no big deal.? Bigger screen, Ghz oscillator, beefier
connectors is all good!

Glen,
hugen pretty much has been where you are except he was able to piggyback his efforts on edy555's prior design. His original NanoVNA-sharp software was barebones, but demonstrated the solid communications api of edy555's original firmware. Additional support that hugen has received from the community has been because of the true open source nature of The NanoVNA design. Everything from source code to schematics is readily available on GitHub. I admire that hugen hasn't rested on his laurels but continues to innovate and contribute to the general NanoVNA community.
