Okay guys... think I should cancel the SAA-2N and order the NanoVNA V2 plus4? The price sure has gone up; with shipping it'll cost almost as much as the other 2 pieces put together. If I spring for DHL, will actually be more... plus my butt hurts just thinking about DHL rapism on Duty & brokerage fees... That 4X scan rate sure sounds tasty tho... *wibble* No matter which way I go, I'll be lucky to see any of them by Christmas, so...

You can upgrade the SAA-2N to a NanoVNA V2 Plus with 2x the scan rate. Edit: I don't really like the form factor of the NanoVNA V2 4 plus but 4G, better sensitivity and scan rate is interesting.
Hmmm... that does make the butt-Hz a little less painful.
Most of the stuff I'm working with at that mega-hurts range is native SMA, as it's RC-related; so there's a consideration. However, more than half the time, I have RP-SMA where I need SMA or vice-versa, so not like I'll ever be able to expect not to need any adapters anyways
and the coupling loss with N-connectors (if they're not total shite) is usually much more predictable, and more predictably lower.
Then there's the
"early adopter asshole tax"... the nice thing aboot the V2 is it's pretty well established and the major gotchas are already known. Maybe the wisest thing will be to let the SAA-2N come and
let Tony take one for the team... err, wait for Tony to tell us what he thinks of the NanoVNA V2 4Plus.
I think by the time this family of gear gets to where it is actually usable in the 6GHz range, where my next RC-related band is busy, I'll probably be ready to spring another $100 on the newest model.
