Hi Herb,
I already thought the screen looked very usable. I have used a big, mil-spec SA and I have been missing having one. I will be watching for the sales announcement here and order right away. I am excited about it.
The nanoVNA has exceeded my expectations. I am sure the tinySA will not disappoint.

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.
