NanoVNA questions
|
vaclav_sal
Before purchase I would like to have the following answered / verified
Is “NanoVNA” a trade mark? (verify) Is “NanoVNA” open source – both hardware and software ? (verify) “NanoVNA “ is sold by many vendors – is there an official manufacturer? “NanoVNA “ appears to be “open source “ software - is there an official coordinated effort to keep track of development? “NanoVNA “ appears to be “open source “ software - is there an official coordinated effort to keep track of “wish list” of new features? From perpetual / legal “open source” notes in software listing – is this product actually “one man band effort”? Reasons for asking. I have been “working” on my own version of VNA , maily because I like to punish myself fighting with hardware and software. I have no commercial interest in this, it is just a hobby. I am currently stuck developing bluetooth interface to my version of VNA and noticed some interest of this group to have NanoVNA with “wireless capability” . I could offer some pointers to whomever will eventually (!) add such ability to NanoVNA- internally( hardware) or externally (software) or both . I do not wish post my notes to the group, it generally results in unmanageable e-mail traffic. Vaclav |

IF you would have looked in the Files and Wiki sections of the forum - all of your questions would have been answered except #1.There is no trademark - only a copyrighted name, owned by edy555.

IMHO,
Yes there are no stupid questions but there are uninformed ones. Directing new members to this group's "Wiki" and "Files" section is not condescending. If they were aware of those resources they would have already answered many of their own questions. Any questions still remaining would add value to the group discussion rather than rehashing content that has already been documented. If English is not a person's first language then not being able to make effective use of the "Wiki" and "Files" sections is understandable. In any event, in addition to suggesting that the member explore the "Wiki" and "Files" sections, Larry also took the time to directly answer his questions -- not a single other member responded. - Herb |

Herb,
appreciate your comments. First I have to say that starting the reply with "IF " is condescending. Maybe it is my computing background which ALWAYS follows "IF" with condition. However, even with my limited usage of English I am sure there are other ways to start an instruction. Unfortunately I also find that it was rather typical , albeit poorly disguised "google it" reply. I did not ask for WHERE to find stuff, I have rather unorthodox opinion about forums purpose - to share personal experiences. I do expect that people without actaull persona;l experience do not clutter the airways just because they can. I generally rate replies by pertinence of them , and my first one got very low rating. Not a good start, hopefully things get better. Cheers |

Hi Vaclav, (or is it Sal?)

Welcome to the forum.? The wiki and files sections of this forum are evolving carefully in order to provide members with specific device and theory related information. I had requested the forum owner David, to add the links at the end of every message, including digests, pointing to files and wiki info. My first impression of your questions was they were coming from a lawyer or commercial entity - just from the way they were written (ie: 'verify') hence the 'look for it' answer. Feel free to add content, experiences and/or ideas to the forum as several members have been doing. ...Larry On Thursday, October 31, 2019, 12:27:34 p.m. GMT-4, vaclav_sal via Groups.Io <vaclav_sal@...> wrote:
