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.

Question: Spectrum analyser mode


Neon22 2020/06/26 03:32

Ordered from Tindie the mooment I got he message they were available again.
Just arrived. Working great.
Question:

Is there an option/mechanism somewhere to use it to just listen to an antenna and show spectrum discovered ?

Are you looking for a "spectrum analyzer"? :)

I am very happy to have an antenna analyser. I was just wondering if the receivers could do a sweep on their own...
Call it added value if you like. :)

====================
You might want to check out this group, https://groups.io/g/tinysa . Its a dedicated spectrum analyzer product that will be manufactured by hugen. Within its working range it has a lot of features you would normally only expect on more costly units. Target price is closer to $50 USD than $100 USD.

Wow @hwalker that is a great looking device. Thanks for the headsup.

I'm pretty sure I did that experiment when I first got my NanoVNA. It should work, and I am pretty sure that it did.
