Just received the no. 284. I have installed it in few minutes and I was able to "SEE" colour diagrams of my antennas.
Fantastic !!!!
I'm going to sell my obsolete MFJ-269

Stunning Test Equipment - 5 Star

Time owned: 3 to 6 months

Outstanding instrument. Opens a whole new world in measurements and feedback for antenna projects, filters & stubs etc. Takes guess-work and assumptions out of equation (almost). You may have to be a bit patient with delivery schedules, but absolutely worth the wait. Excellent forum of users on Yahoo groups.

Fantastic analyser, fantastic software

I have only had my MiniVNA (serial number 163) for a couple of days but have not stopped using it. Installation of the hardware and software under WinXP is a breeze. Everything worked straight away (well, once I had selected the correct com port which took all of 20 seconds!)
The latest software that has been written for it is so straightforward to use, and the user interface is very clear. I have no problems with this at all. It is running extremely well on my old Panasonic CF-28 laptop, which isn't the fast computer in the world, and I have no problems with hesitating display.
The support available through the user group is excellent - thanks guys.
The MiniVNA is most definitely a purchsse I am happy with and glad I made. I love experimenting with antennas, feedlines and phasing, and this is a fantastic tool for the job.

minivna no. 36 at work

Time owned: more than 12 months

Like the 60Mhz vna the new one is a "must have" for antenna engeneering HAM´s. This little "Blue Box" helps me a lot in Selfmade Antennas, Traps and Coaxstubs and saved me much more Euro´s than the miniVna costs.In difference to other´s like MFJ or RF1 you have an ideal overview on the spectrum of frequency you have chosen with the easy to use and understand software.Very important to me is the availability of UNIX/Linux to use as operating system. So my congrats to both Soft- as Hardware Team of miniVna, you make HOMEBREWING easier and interesting for many Radio Amateurs, ...keep carry on ...
my best regards
Alexander, DL5VZ

I received this little device a few weeks ago and I must say it really stand out.
I have tried it on filters and antennas and I find it most useful. A great product that I would recommend for every HAM lab.
