Re: On Line, Secure, Transactions
Some things to consider about online purchases:
1. Your special debit account presumably still links back to your SSN. Remember, you had to give your SSN when opening that account, so there is a link. 2. Your credit rating is still at risk. If a fraudulent purchase is made online, it's commonly the merchant who ends up holding the bag (not the CC company), and he/she is always free to file adverse reports to the credit reporting agencies etc. Item two was initially gleaned from an evening seminar on ID theft given by my bank, then years later "confirmed" by research on the web. I've mentioned this to personnel at another bank at which I've done most business recently, and the response was "Oh, that could not possibly be true, but we'll check into it for you." I've never received any further response on that, so I feel that prudence dictates assuming the worst. My online purchases are only from organization(s) who accept payment by gift card, specifically a gift card that can be purchased anonymously with cash. Unfortunately there is only one such vendor (of which I'm aware) that sells anything in which I'm interested. Mostly I purchase by voice telephone and prefer to make payment by cashier's check, whose link to my personal info is probably about as tenuous as can be managed. Dana |

Sorry, it's hard for me to judge because there are many clones now. If the version you buy works well, you don't have to worry too much. Thanks to the good design of nanovna, the manufacturer can easily make a usable version, but there will be some differences at higher frequencies. The version I sell will include good shielding and guarantee good isolation. Some clones may also be shielded, but they may cause poor isolation due to their incorrect installation. And I will print the NanoVNA-H label and the hardware version number on the PCB I sell, and there will be a QR code next to the screen of the main pcb for accessing nanovna.com.

Re: New NanoVNA-H just received
Thank you for your support. Since some European countries charge high tariffs on DHL, we provide postal express. If you buy from Maggie through Alibaba, NanoVNA-H Rev3.4 will be shipped now. If you bought from ebay or Amazon, you can ask the dealer for the hardware version, we have now pasted "HW version: 3.4" on NanoVNA-H rev3.4.
Thanks to the work of AA6KL£¬the 4-inch version of NanoVNA-H is coming soon. Like NanoVNA-H Rev3.4, it can work well up to 1.5GHz. /g/nanovna-users/message/8708 hugen |

Due to the use of a Cortex M4 MCU and a 4-inch LCD screen, it is temporarily called NanoVNA-H 4, but this is not the next-generation NanoVNA. It is highly compatible with the NanoVNA-H currently sold. All software developed for NanoVNA can be used directly, except for You only need to modify the data length of the screenshot function. Edy555 is developing the next-generation NanoVNA with high performance, but it takes quite a long time to complete the development. hugen |

On Line, Secure, Transactions
A suggestion, everybody. Tell the bank that that is to be a /debit card account/ and that itGo to your bank and open another "chequing", er, "checking" account. is/not to be linked to your other accounts/. That is quite easily done. your "real" accounts. Thereafter use that account's card for all yourThen transfer, say, $500 into that debit card account from one of larger everyday transactions. That is to say paying for the lunch with the boys when it's your turn, buying a pair of better quality shoes and...purchasing on line. Register that card as your card on PayPal, Amazon and Aliexpress. is completely separate from your other accounts (different card number,Since there is never any more than $500 in the account and since it different password and different p.i.n. and no link to other accounts), if somebody gets into that account, your maximum exposure is very small even if you lose the argument over security with the bank. It is important to get through the mind of the bank employee setting up the account that your other accounts cannot be accessed or even seen from that account. Check that by going to the bank's automated teller right away and using your new debit card. You must not be able to get at or even see your other accounts. using your p.i.n. will see the $500 balance or whatever the existingSomebody putting an exact clone of that card into a cash machine and balance is and nothing more. He has no knowledge of the other, the "real", accounts. He can't get at you. A dishonest retailer on line or his employee or a confederate to whom he has sold your data cannot bill you for thousands of dollars. years now. The card is registered on Amazon, PayPal and Aliexpress andThat has been done here. The account has been in use for a couple of works with no issues. The idea has worked perfectly. Larger grocery bills, restaurants (a prime location for "card scanning") and all on line purchases go through that account. The card saves depleting out of pocket cash, too, so you don't have to go around town with any more than a few dollars on you. Now and then, as required, the bank branch is dropped into and, say, two hundred dollars is transferred into that every day "working" debit card account to top it up. The only way money can be moved into that account is by a teller in a branch of your bank. She is also the only one who can see all your accounts. When you move money into the account she can also see your face and see your signature on her monitor for comparison. +++++ On 2019-12-27 6:29 p.m., BruceN wrote: On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 05:40 PM, hwalker wrote:--I haven't ordered from Alibaba because, like you, I would rather use PayPalI didn't mind using the credit card.

On my NanoVNA-H I have a return loss of at least 30 dB up to about 1.3 GHZ. From there it falls off rapidly to 20 dB at 1.5 GHz. Actually, above 1 GHz, I only treat measurements as indicative, but still better than other equipment I currently own. I have not seen any performance reviews of the new ver 3.4 NanoVNA-H, but hugen says additional noise level improvement have been made. I believe erik has been part of that conversation. - Herb |

Herb,
Am I missing something? I didn't a USB-C termination resistors. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking at. I thought about waiting for the new version too. But, I didn't want to wait. And I'm glad I didn't. Don't know what the newer version would have done for me anyway. The "old" version is probably way beyond my capabilities anyway.

Re: Brief NanoVNA-H vs NanoVNA_F comparison
#nanovna-f
I started this topic because I advised my ham club that in purchasing the NanoVNA-F they would be getting the same NanoVNA-H unit that some of our members have embraced, but with a larger screen, case, and bigger battery. We approved its purchase over additional NanoVNA-H's for our youth group. When the NanoVNA-F arrived I didn't realize how far behind the NanoVNA-H it was in terms of firmware enhancements, and also surprised that errors such as the 0.4dB s21 offset after OSLT calibration was just being reported by some users.
My hope was to give other group members information that I didn't have when I made my recommendation. I hope this topic continues in that vein and not veer off topic regarding Dr. Kirby's popularity. I only brought that incident up to point out that this group was created by a user for users, and is widely open to discussion. Whereas the NanoVNA-F group was created by the manufacturer and; therefore, has not enjoyed the same user contribution to documentation, NanoVNA-F specific software, and firmware that the NanoVNA-H has. In retrospect, I would have advised holding off on the purchase until the promised NanoVNA-F firmware enhancements have been delivered and shaken out, or wait for Gabriel's 3GHZ offering with larger display option. - Herb |

Re: Wait for V2 design or but current model on ebay?
Hi Herb,
Thanks for the heads up, I have sent a question to the seller about the PCB version. Does hugen have an ebay store? If I understood correctly some of the posts seem to suggest that he sells through Alibaba, which I am not a fan of as among other things they usually don't take Paypal and there are basically no reliable shipping options to the US besides DHL which is much more expensive. As you said, I always had a positive experience on ebay purchases even if something went wrong with the purchased item or the seller tried to pull one. Not so on Amazon or many other places I would not even show my CC from 10 ft away as it is common sense nowadays trying to avoid to directly disclose your payment info as much as possible to organizations with doubtful or unknown safe data handling practices. Too many links in the chain. Thanks again. |

¡ A satisfied buyer and, no, I don't own any stock in Hugen's store. ========================================================================== Bruce, I also purchased the new hugen NanoVNA-H version with case and additional accessories, and second your opinion. The added value of the case, already installed battery monitoring diode, usb-c termination resistors, upgraded firmware (1500 MHz extension, DFU menu, TDR menu, etc.) and additional accessories (didn't even realize the "included guitar pick with lanyard " was actually a useful stylus) is more than worth the slightly higher cost that the old version is selling for. My only regret is ordering before the new version 3.4 PCB was announced. I guess I'll wait for performance reviews of the new 3.4 version before deciding to purchase it or wait for Gabriel's 3GHz version. Either way, I'm having more fun than I deserve. - Herb |
