Just a comment, genuine NanoVNA V2 costs a good bit more than $65, but still extremely accessible for what it offers. Cheap clones have measurably dubious performance.

It is 2xx https://www.tindie.com/products/hcxqsgroup/4-nanovna-v2-plus...

Frankly it is not the price but for starter what is involved is not sure. So far seems at least 3 things:

1. exam especially local radio, 2. some equipment for radio and control 3. some interface with software

But is that all and which is the starting point. That equipment seemed to be only part of the game.


Oh boy... I have no idea what I own, then. Only that it cost around $65 and is very, very much like a NanoVNA v1. High-frequency performance is not important to me (I use this to analyze HF antennas, generally 1.5-30 MHz) so what I have is likely fine, but I hate buying a clone without knowing it.
