Anybody have one of those Nano VNA's?

Ok, I was pretty sure having to recalibrate every time it was used was incorrect. Just need to recalibrate when not wanting to measure at the same point as your previous calibration.

My understanding from the users guides I have read is that any time you change frequencies, you set the new range and run the cal.

IMHO unless you use the device constantly at a bench always using the same frequency, it is good practice to check the cal every time you use. I am not always 100% positive which frequency it was set for since I do not use it daily.
 
I was annoyed that I spent $240 on my faa450 after i saw the nano, but now I'm happy again.

It really sounds like it is a bench tester that can be used for antennas in a pinch if necessary. Can you imagine trying to tune a fan dipole, cobweb, or any other multi band antenna? You could end up recalibrating 100 times!
 
Well it appears I now have some learning to do. Amazon said delivery on Nov. 9. Just got it today.

Let us know, I had my eye on those...Just hate buying Chinese goodies

Will do as soon as I learn how to do more than turn it on. LOL I have five weeks of pay coming to me over the next month which is over and above my short term disability payments so I decided WTF. Time to treat myself for all the pain and suffering I have gone thru these past months.

Its fun to play with. before you know it you will have tested every antenna in the house .. :)
