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.

The user manual is here:

VNA's can be used for many complex measurements, so try not to be put off by the extra layers of detail!
Calibrate over the range you want, connect your antenna to port 1 (of 1 & 2) and select the SWR graph. Ought to be quite straightforward.

Hi Tony,
to me is more better if I could find someone that can drive me step by step instead to use the manual,
that is why I am asking if there is someone available to help me step by step.
Thanks

Tony,
I have set as START 2.4G and as STOP 2.5G.
Now the next step say to calibrate and it says:

Attach a SMA coaxial cable to port 1.

Please looking the NanoVNA on the front, I have on the top of it the USB
Port while on the bottom I have one SMA connector on the Left and one SMA connector on the Right.
Which is the Port 1?

Thanks
