Thanks Ralph! I look forward to learning my recently purchased VNA. I ordered the 4" screen model and they sent me the smaller one at the same price. After much debate with Aliexpress, they gave me a partial refund for the "dishonest" seller. Lesson learned: Just like when playing "Simon Say's", in order to win you should use a blind fold. It's called "Simon say's" NOT Do as Simon does. Anyway, don't believe pictures and even descriptions on these websites. They will try and deceive you anyway they can! Take a screenshot of your purchase and message the seller to make sure they'e sending you the correct one BEFORE purchasing. With all of that said, I've heard that there is a way to make the NanoVNA work with a program so the screen can be viewed over a computer. VNA "saver"? This would give me a better view than the tiny little screen that's in the VNA. Not sure if this is available for my older Windows XP computer I have. I can't use this computer I'm on because it's only a web browser (Acer Chromebook) I look forward to learning VNA's with you. Thanks for doing a series on this.

I purchased my directly from the official nanoVNA site. Yes, I paid a bit more, but [a] I know I have the real deal and [b] they have a known and good reputation. Coming out (theoretically) next Wednesday is a menu walk through and what all this stuff means. The video is in post-production at the moment ... in the beginning stages. Yes, the VNA Saver program is the one. This is the one that I use in all of my nanoVNA videos. You will get a good leg-up on how this program works through them. 🙂
