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.

Did you recalibrate the touch screen after loading the new F/W?

I think I know your next question.  How do I recal the touch screen if the touch screen isn't working?  Sorry I forgot to mention you can navigate the menu using the arrow keys located between the RF connectors.  The center button should display the menu (and select an item) and the side buttons move you up and down.  Select "config", then "touch cal".

Stay Safe & Well,

Gordon

Hello Hughie!
Please go to
https://groups.io/g/NanoVNAV2/topic/firmware_for_v2_it_contain/81847314?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,20,81847314
The newest V2 Firmware from DiSlord from 28032021.
Please not use FW for V2Plus or V2Plus4 (HW versions 2.3 and 2.4)!!!

-- for the NanoVNA V2 ( SAA-2) 2.8 inch display--

Your FW is V2 320x240 grid.bin (your device has fpu=yes)
or V2 320x240 grid noFPU.bin (then you device has fpu=no)

After the fw upgrade, please calibrate the touch screen with the 3 buttons: 1. CONFIG ---> TOUCHCAL 2. Calibrate the touch screen 3. CONFIG ---> SAVE
