UPDATED: I Like it but.

I wanted the SAA-2 V2, and I thought I did my research, but after receiving the unit and working with it, I learned that this is most-likely a clone. You cannot update/upgrade the software yourself. The Revain page tells you to go to the github page where you can update the software, and that is where you learn that this device is not supported and was discontinued in 2020.The VNA-QT software does not work with this device on Windows 10, at least I've tried and no joy. VNA Saver works fine. As…

Pros
  • Like the N connectors. Note this internally is a V2.2 NanoVNA
Cons
  • The tools may require specialized knowledge to operate properly

So, I received the item today (09/27/2020) and upon opening the package up, the N Connectors are not straight, they are both bent inwards towards one another. A little upset that this is the case, especially for $130 I would think attention to detail would have been a bit better. Concerned that they may eventually become loose, or worse yet, completely break off. This is the reason behind my 4 star rating.Besides that, the unit is very sturdy. Got some weight to it compared to previous VNA…

Pros
  • It's a good starting point to get an idea of the behavior of your design.
Cons
  • The N-Type Male Short may not fit on all types of connectors

DO NOT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE!

An expensive 'oops'. . . . This product is a variant on the open market and is not officially supported by the websites on the supplied documentation. I would return the item if I could as I cannot even find the original FW for the product out of the box.Hunt around and you can find FW for the 4" display units, but, it will lead to hours lost searching versus simply taking your measurements.

Pros
  • Gift they liked it
Cons
  • While the product is great and works as it should, it came with no instructions!

Seller suported the product

When the VNA arrived, the package contained 1 "open" standard and 2 "load" standards. One of those "load" should have been a "short", which was missing. These connectors are used in calibrating the VNA, which could not be done without the "short". I sent email to the company supplying these (in China) through Revain's contact methods, explaining the missing item. A company representative responded fairly quickly. The factory was closed due to the Chinese New Year holidays, but they would send a

Pros
  • only dislike didnt come with uhf s0239 adapters
Cons
  • The N-Type Male Short could potentially damage the connectors it is used with

Very impressive performance; great for Amateur Radio us.

Everything about this unit is great with a couple of minor exceptions. The weight is a trade off between the shielding of the metal case and the weight of the metal case. Accuracy is great; comparable to my Array Solutions AIM that's four times the price. And it has added functions like S12 AND S11. I bought mine through Aliexpress for $70 before it was offered on Revain. The carrying case is a big plus. The big annoyance is that it doesn't turn ON with the default Calibration and previous…

Pros
  • Very nice NANOVNA with type N connectors, loads and cables. Much stronger connectors.
Cons
  • The tools may require frequent recalibration, which can be time-consuming and costly

Extraordinary value

Extraordinary value for money. Buy one, buy two. Give them to friends. It works very well, much better than one could expect or hope. It's NOT as good as one that costs 100 or 1,000 times more. But it's more than 50% as good and you can blow it up without getting fired or expelled.I may never get used to the fact that you can buy one of these for small change like this.

Pros
  • This is an amazing product. Much better with the N connections
Cons
  • The tools may not be effective in all types of network analysis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid construction good for me

A standard NanoVNA SSA v2.2 clone but very sturdy construction sets it above the rest, plus a quality set of cal adapters and accessories and a nice case. Not the least expensive option but still a great value, construction was closer to a mainstream commercial product rather than a home-built project like the rest. The 4" screen is a must have in a NanoVNA, makes the unit much more usable. Also I was able to update the firmware to the most current 10132020 version with no difficulty.

Pros
  • The N-Type Male Short calibration tool is designed to reduce the level of loss that can occur when signals are transmitted or received
Cons
  • The set may not be returned or exchanged if it does not work properly

Worked Great For 10 months

Absolutely loved this. Unfortunately, it didn't last. The screen shows white at this point. Depleted the battery to reset it, opened it to disconnect the battery, look for issues with bad caps or traces, no issue that I could see.If the manufacturer happens to read this, if you have any ideas, let me know. 2 stars for reliability.

Pros
  • Device arrived in a timely manner and is very helpful in my endeavors.
Cons
  • The toolset may not be necessary for small-scale network analysis

Good for Novice not so much for Tech.

This little unit worked ok but it is hard to get it set up to do what I needed.I am accustomed to using the bench version and while this looks like they are on the right track, the display is only fair. Needs improvement.

Pros
  • The calibration tools are easy to maintain, ensuring that they remain in good working order for longer
Cons
  • The set may not be suitable for use with certain types of network cables

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks like good value for the bucks.

Delivery was quicker than originally quoted. Item quality appears to be fairly high. This is a complex piece of e test gear with a learning curve, so I can't yet comnent on performance.

Pros
  • Ham radio measurements. It takes some learning to appreciate the device.
Cons
  • The Load And Open connectors may not provide accurate readings

First class quality and functionality

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this unit. After I calibrated it (be sure to hit Recall before running Calibration) I found the touch screen interface to work better than the NanoVNA's I have owned in the past.The N connectors are a plus for durability. I did buy some N to BNC and N to SMA adaptors to use with smaller coax for HF work. No instructions are included but there is a ton of stuff on the web, including manuals. In short, this and my TinySA are going to be my "go to"…

Pros
  • The calibration tools are extremely accurate and reliable, ensuring precise measurements every time
Cons
  • The tools may not provide accurate readings in certain environmental conditions

Clone product not supported by software updates.

Before you buy, go to the webpage for software updates, and you'll read that this product is a clone. The unit itself works well and seems accurate, only because its software is well written. However, because its a clone, the software update page doesn't support the unit. Also, the unit I got had a bad USB port right out of the box, and wouldn't charge or connect to the computer application.

Pros
  • The N-Type Male Short calibration tool is designed for use with N-type male connectors, ensuring a perfect fit and accurate calibration
Cons
  • The tools may be difficult to clean in between uses

Initial tests seem good.

Out of box experience overall: Not bad!Couple of minor negatives to get out of the way: The case is steel. Consequently it is a lot heavier than it needs to be, and subject to rust. Would have preferred aluminum for obvious reasons. The screening on the case is essentially unreadable. Good news is there are few things to label. RF N Port 0 is the one closest to a protruding tab. Menu open is center button, other buttons are up / dn navigate, or just use the touch screen. Finger or included…

Pros
  • The set includes 4 different calibration tools
Cons
  • The set may not be compatible with all types of network analyzers and devices

Works well, low cost.

For the price, this is a fantastic bargain. The manuals for how to use this device are online, because this is an open source item. This particular manufacturer has a heavy metal box to hold everything in, and larger connections with which to attach coax cables.I bought a kit of connectors for this that connect to the pl259 plug for my antennas. It is so easy to tune up the antennas now with this. I have already used this a lot with the number of antennas.PROS: low cost, easy to use, Easy to…

Pros
  • The Female To Female Connector is perfect for calibrating cables and connectors, ensuring accurate measurements every time
Cons
  • The N-Type Male Short may damage sensitive equipment

Size value functionality would recommend

I would recommend this it is very sturdy and is not to big but not too small it is a perfect size and it is an amazingly easy to use and understand it has exceeded my expectations

Pros
  • The Load And Open calibration tool is perfect for analyzing the frequency response of network analyzers and antennas
Cons
  • The tools may not be compatible with all types of coaxial adapters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth the money for my opinion

This device works great for checking and adjusting antennas used in my experimental radio work. I have the one with the N type connectors and bought sma adapters and calibration plugs. The case is actually pretty nice too. I've got a lot to learn about it's capabilities but it seems like a well built device.

Pros
  • Good for line analysis and sweeps.
Cons
  • The Load And Open connectors may not be compatible with all network analyzer systems

4* because the unit works as advertised, but I had to replace a defective unit.Considering the price, the VNA works great for basic antenna tuneup and field measurements.

Pros
  • This is a great value and a great sales team!!
Cons
  • The tools are not compatible with all types of network analyzers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not that great good for me

Not that great, even with a stylus the display is difficult to deal with (even after dong the display touch calibration)can be very frustrating at times. Tends to hang up after a Normalization IE Load, short, open cal.Needs to have a turn on default ability so you can keep the preferred display orientation and settings the same at turn on, takes time to go around and reset everything the way you want it over and over again.Don't even get me started with the desk top software, talk about error…

Pros
  • The AURSINC SAA-2N V2.2 set is an essential tool for professionals in the calibration industry
Cons
  • The tools may not be easy to store or organize

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The seller offers no support

A novice should not buy this. In the cloud folder they have a ssa2 manual but are selling a ssa2N device. there is a calibration pdf with a photo of a older device, i know because you can read the labels. the website they refer you to has files from 2014. one link is dead. it talks about male and female kits. just stupid crazy confusing. if i could figure it out, like had a manual, i would figure it out then. if you are testing uhf connectors you need adapters but i need a manual to tell me how

Pros
  • The set is compact and easy to carry, making it ideal for use in the field or on the go
Cons
  • The Female To Female Connector may not provide a strong connection and could come loose during analysis

Best value for the price

I am still learning to use mine but I am amazed at the quality. Solid chassis, clear screen, easy to use so far. Even the carbon fiber looking padded case it came in says quality. If I had to think of a critique would be to make the case bigger to hold all the adaptors I bought along with it. I will probably get a small pelican case.

Pros
  • Spectrum Analyzers
Cons
  • The set may not be suitable for outdoor use
