I've recently reinstated my Ham license after a 30 year break from it. I want to purchase a Nano VNA and a HackRF SDR from China. I know that the quality and performance of these devices vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer and am looking for user feedback on which manufacturers/online stores to avoid. I would like units that operate up to 6 Ghz. as there is a lot of interesting stuff going on in that end of the spectrum.
I'd purchase the US made HackRF but I just can't afford it right now. BladeRF and Lime SDR are way outside my budget. The heating bills are hitting me hard this winter.
Canada is talking about banning the import of devices like the HackRF and I'd like to get one before the door is closed and welded shut.
If anyone can give me a lead on a good manufacturer I would greatly appreciate it.
It just boggles my mind that one can purchase a vector network analyzer for $100 bucks. No more guess work setting up antennas with one of those in the shack.
Once I am back on the air I look forward to a few QSO's with you folks.
