*Important: All non-Plus4/VNA6000 versions are clones as of 2023 , which have now switched to using salvaged parts because of the recent component price increase and do not meet our specifications, as we have tested here: https://nanorfe.com/nanovna-v2.html#clones*
To avoid a bad clone, look for *V2 Plus4/Plus4 Pro and VNA6000 versions* only.

About clones: The earliest V2.2 design was open sourced and many clones are based on it. However, one vendor has been attempting to harm us by claiming credit for the design, deceiving customers and distributors that they originated the design, and running phony NanoVNA V2 groups to make these clones appear legitimate. *Please be aware that NanoRFE/HCXQS is the only authorized seller, and this group (NanoVNAV2) is the only official NanoVNA V2 group.*
Please consider supporting us by buying a genuine version from the Tindie links above if possible. Thank you.
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.
