Can anyone tell me how to order the pro with N connectors?

Beware of cheap underperforming clones
As of 2023 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.

N Connectors for V4 plus pro?

Thanks,
Concern about SMA connector longevity and to a lesser degree those impairments
that can’t be calibrated out.
Best regards,

Most of my work does not mandate SMA connectors and my good cal kit is N,
so I used some scrap aluminum and bulkhead adapters to "ruggedize" my Plus4.

Nice job Geo,
That certainly addresses the major physical issue! Do you feel the VNA cal
capability is completely backing out the effects of the adapters and jumpers -
the length is enough to show on a TDR?
Best regards,

screw the adaptor on.. pull tight... and never change it until it's worn out
... that's what I would do
dg9bfc sigi
sidenote on the saa2n it's exactly done that way with secure the adaptor with
a blob of solder

Rob,
The VNA is absolutely capable of removing the added cable length and
bulkhead adapters. You can cal out at the end of a 100' cable run if you
have access to it, like a run up a tower. You might need some help swapping
the cal kit bits...;-)
