First thanks to the moderators for adding me. As the title of my message says, I'm new also to the AURSINC Vector Network Analyzer (bought on Amazon). I have watched a couple of YouTube videos about this device, which was delivered to me March 18, 2020. Also I have never used something like this, I think I have calibrated it to the desired area (frequency range) I want to use, but really for now the only thing I'm interested in is the SWR of the antenna I'm checking.
I have a MFJ - 269 (the original one) antenna analyzer which I like, but it would be nice to be able to use this because of it's size. Maybe later I'll figure out the different charts it has and how to use them, but for now I just want to ONLY see the SWR. I have clicked on the SWR button but there is still all the other info on the screen that I don't want to see.

I'm not sure which PDF manual I should download (this is what I downloaded, NanoVNA User Guide_20190711.pdf) to hopefully figure this out, but for now, if there was / is such a thing as a manual for dummies, that might help. I apologize for asking the same question I'm sure has been ask to ad nauseam but you got to start from somewhere. And thanks for being patient with me.

David,
A lot of ham's only want to use the NanoVNA the same way they use a MJF
analyzer and don't care about the other functions, at least initially.

The following Web translator link by a Japanese ham does a good job of
going through the steps of getting rid of unnecessary display traces and
setting up CH0 to use the NanoVNA as an antenna analyzer.




or try:



and use Microsoft or Google Translate.

Thanks Herb, I can see for me for now there will be a steep learning curve,
right now I would rather throw it out the window, but just like everything
else you start at the bottom and start trying to figure new things out. It
has been a loooooooong time since high school, almost 53 years since I got
out. I made myself a local copy so if / when my brain says it needs a break
I can easily come back to it.

Thanks again,
Dave
