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.

Great ebook on Impedance matching

There are a few misstatements in the write-up. First, the claim is made
that the antenna feed point, coax at the feed point, coax in the shack all
have to be matched, i.e., 50 ± j0 ohms for maximum power transfer - not
true. Then later in the write-up, he demonstrates how mismatching at all
three interfaces can yield a matched solution in the shack - true. But the
write-up does not treat the efficiency of power transfer in the mismatched
case. Series or shunt stub matching is a common technique which is
illustrated and sound in theory and practice.

So use caution with interpreting the prose in the write-up.
