![]() ![]() If you just want to have access to a VNA with moderate performance on the cheap, go with the NanoVNA-H4. If cost is not an object and you don't need a lot of user group support, I would go with the ver 3.1 NanoVNA-F. The NanoVNA-F is about twice the cost of the NanoVNA-H4 ($60 versus $110) but is packaged better (metal enclosure), has a larger battery, and has an easier firmware update procedure than the NanoVNA-H4 (virtual disk versus third party software).Īs I said, I am happy with both units and would buy either again. Some user's prefer using push buttons over a thumb-wheel. The 3.1 hardware version also offers the choice of 3 push buttons or a single thumb-wheel. The NanoVNA-H4 looks like it will actually give usable performance to 2 GHz if the firmware limits are opened up.Ī new hardware 3.1 version of the NanoVNA-F has just been released for sell with an improved RF bridge, which may match the NanoVNA-H4's performance above 1.5 GHz. ![]() If you are only going to make measurements up to 1 GHz then you'll be happy with either unit. They each operate from 10kHz - 1.5GHz with their current firmware, although the performance of the NanoVNA-F starts to get iffy above 1.3 GHz. I own both models and I am happy with either. Both the NanoVNA-H4 and NanoVNA-F already incorporate identical out-of-the-box TDR measurement capability. "I would like to use TDR one day, any clue if a version running it will be released soon?" This user group beats the NanoVNA-F user group hands down when it comes to support, which adds immeasurable value to the NanoVNA-H4. It proves to me that while the NanoVNA-F may be slower at introducing new firmware updates than the NanoVNA-F that the developer is fully capable of keeping up with any worthwhile new features. ![]() With firmware release 0.1.1, the NanoVNA-F incorporates pretty much all of edy555's 6.0 firmware improvements and adds a few of its own. Up until about a month ago I would definitely have said the NanoVNA-H4 was the better developer supported model. "I would like the 4.3 or 4.0 inch display, but it's look like the F and H4 version are not the same processor, so wich one is the more supported model?"
