Looks nice, more small screen equipment like that coming out these days. You could be at the top of your tower at the end of a run of coax, and if you drop it that's not like losing a $1k device!

I still havent got a tiny VNA yet, I've been interested in those that some of the other guys are getting here.

Mine arrived last week, so apparently it is shipping in at least limited quantities.

I have yet to use it for anything, so no comment on usability, yet. Maybe over the weekend if I get around to some radio projects.

Agree with ya', K-Bear. I have a NanoVNA H4. Great little device, even if just checking and tuning antennas, less long all of its other possible uses.
