The NanoVNA-F V2 is a handheld vector network analyser that measures S11 and S21 from 50kHz to 3GHz, with 70dB S21 dynamic range at 1.5GHz and 60dB at 3GHz, a 4.3 inch 800 x 480 IPS touch screen and a 5000mAh battery for up to 7 hours of use. It shows SWR, Smith chart, phase and group delay, and connects to a computer over USB Type-C.
Features and Benefits
- 50kHz to 3GHz, with a full band sweep in about 1.9s - covers HF, VHF and UHF antennas plus 868MHz, 915MHz and 2.4GHz work
- S21 dynamic range 70dB at 1.5GHz and 60dB at 3GHz - enough depth to test UV duplexers and filters

Q: What is a NanoVNA used for? A: A NanoVNA is a small vector network analyser that measures how a device reflects and passes a swept signal (S11 and S21). The NanoVNA-F V2 does this from 50kHz to 3GHz to check antenna SWR, cables, filters and duplexers.. Q: Can the NanoVNA-F V2 test a duplexer? A: Yes. UV duplexer testing is one of the listed applications, helped by S21 dynamic range of 70dB at 1.5GHz and 60dB at 3GHz.. Q: How long does the battery last? A: The 5000mAh lithium battery gives up to 7 hours of use, and the analyser can also run from USB power.. Q: Can I use this vector network analyser with a computer? A: Yes. It connects by USB Type-C as a serial (CDC) device and works with the NanoVNA-F V2 Saver PC software, which displays the data and can capture the device screen.. Q: Does it remember settings after switching off? A: It stores 5 setup groups that can be recalled directly, and the settings in use before the last shutdown are recalled automatically at the next power on..
