Sysjoint SV4401A nanoVNA
|
So i bought one of these on Amazon (SV4401A). They're $150 less on Ali
Express, but i don't entirely trust Ali Express -- i've been burned twice by them. The last "burn" was $24 worth of fake coax. Not worth returning. Anyway, this SV4401A is great and does what it's supposed to do. BUT there are spelling errors on the main screen, unbelievable. On the main screen, bottom right, there is a 'button' labelled RUNING instead of RUNNING. There was another typo as well, but i can't find it at the moment. I guess that can be fixed with a firmware update. Best 73 Orrin WN1Z |

No, you may have gotten a clone. Try NanoVNA.com Good Luck.

I appreciate any comments.
I go to nanovna.com, it suggests: For platforms such as Amazon or AliExpress, please buy directly through the store provided by the link. Other advertising links on the platform may sell bad clones. Amazon AURSINC <> So i go to the Aursinc store on Amazon with that link, and the exact AURSINC/Sysjoint SV4401A that i bought is there in the Aursinc store. The name Sysjoint seems to go along with the name Aursinc in several places i look on the web. The Chelegance site mentioned above (in this thread) only mentions a SV4401A latest firmware of 0.4.0 but my device boots up as 0.5.9. The Chelegance wiki page, for desktop software, lists nanoVNA Saver 0.3.12, so i downloaded that. My SV4401A causes nanoVNA Saver versions 0.3.12, 0.5.4, and 0.6.8 to either fail to load or crash once connected. My F-V2 can connect to all 3 versions. Without some advice, i am not sure how to proceed. ... I wrote down the firmware version and serial number that my SV4401A gives on boot-up.

As a P.S. to my last comment (below), from a search i found a reference to
yet another version of nanoVNA Saver (0.7.3). On one PC, the SV4401A would not connect (or would crash) just as in the other versions of nanoVNA Saver. Then i found a comment by a user, that switching to another PC solved that problem. So, on my 2nd Win10 laptop, the SV4401A connects to nanoVNA Saver 0.7.3 and appears to be working correctly. I did not go back and see if the SV4401A will connect to pre-0.7.3 on the 2nd laptop. So please, i'd like to hear why the SV4401A is a "completely different animal from the nanoVNA group." Thank you for any comments. There's still the issue of the home screen on the VNA misspelling the word "running" as "runing." If this proves the unit is a fake, i am still within the return window on amazon.

This post mentions that "firmware of SV4401A is encrypted, we have not found a cloned SV4401A so far on the market" Mine also is firmware 0.5.9, which is the latest over at: [email protected], in the files section. I also have the "Runing" typo, so I suspect we are OK and don't have a clone. Regards Phil VK2KKZ |

Phil, that's good news, a clone is unlikely. The 'RUNING' typo is also visible on the Sysjoint SV4401A io.groups announcement of 0.5.9 firmware. I posted over there that i found nanoVNA Saver 0.7.3 that works with the SV4401A. But it only works on *one* of my Win10 machines, not the other. That could be a problem with my PC. Is there a better PC software available, than the 0.7.3 ? 73 Orrin WN1Z El jue, 6 mar 2025 a la(s) 4:30?p.m., Phil Taylor via groups.io (philbyt1= [email protected]) escribió: Orrin |
