Hi,
I'm older and use glasses too. I bought the nanoVNA with a four inch
screen just to make life easier. I am sure I could manage with the
smaller screen. In addition to my prescription glasses I have several
magnifiers here already. I am going to want the tinySA and won't wait
for the four inch screen. Depending on price I might buy one with a
bigger screen when/if it becomes available. I will use magnifiers as needed.

Bill,
? ?hugen's philosophy is to give students, ham operators and enthusiast access to test equipment at a sub $100 USD price.? I believe he is targeting the tinySA at a price point closer to $50 USD than $100USD.? At that price you can use the 2.8" tinySA and explore its capabilities until the 4" version is released.? I doubt you would have any problems selling or gifting the 2.8" version.?
? ?Additionally, take a look at the following screen shot for the rf generator mode of the tinySA.? It is more legible than the fonts used on the NanoVNA-H4 and I would want to keep the smaller tinySA just to use as a companion rf generator for the 4" tinySA.? The two together will form a nice 100k-350M tracking generator set-up. Frequency sweep, level sweep, AM and FM modulation schemes in the LOW OUTPUT mode particularly make the tinySA useful.? I suspect some users will purchase the tinySA just for its signal generator capabilities.
Erik has really packed a ton of features into the tinySA.? His attention to detail and quality along with his partner ship with a respected supplier like hugen are enough to make me want to add the tinySA to my toolkit.
