[Elecraft] OT: Nano VNA

[David Gilbert]

Ahh ... you are correct.  It was designed by DG5MK, not DG8SAQ ... but 
it does work with the DG8SAQ software.

And yes, the interface is a bit weird, but that's because it only has 
three buttons (essentially Up, Down, Select) to page through the various 
menus, change frequency, etc.  I've gotten fairly used to it.

By the way, the battery life is amazingly long.  I use it fairly often 
but find myself changing batteries about once a year just in case.
