Hello,
today my new NanoVNA V2 arrived, sadly I realized afterwards that I have got a clone, but it isn't build that bad.
I think it's a clone, because the board looks litle different to the picture of the board in the official shop.
Nice to see the higher dynamic then my NanoVNA-f ( also a nice unit :-))
Now I have a litte problem, in CW mode there isn't a constant signal, I found out that the VNA will switch his ECAL for compensetion.
But I don't understand the sense at all. CW mode means to me the unit should deliver a constant cw signal like a generator, thats what I would expect the unit to do and what all the VNAs I had to play with also did.
When I only like to measure at a fixed frequency I could use zero span instead.
Is this a bug or a feature?
Will this be fixed in the near future?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Isidro
Beware of cheap underperforming clones
As of 2022 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.
See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.

CW Mode Pulsing Issue
I have the V2 version from Tindie, this question is discussed and solved in the forum https://groups.io/g/NanoVNAV2/topic/cw_pulses/76262045?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,76262045 and downloading the modifing firmware works.
There´s any version for CW for PLUS4?
there is CW on mine. The issue is there is another one under CFG SWEEP. That one makes it constant to use as a signal gen.
Otherwise it is pulsing to do its measurements.
It does the same, with CFG SWEEP in CW it make pulsed wave, not CW
