Mike, I was the winner of one of nanoVNA yesterday. I will be very happy to give it to you since I own already a RigExper Antenna Analyzer.

I am sorry that ham radio had to take a back seat to other life activities. Noting the nanoVNA that was part of the raffle - I am interested in buying one and / or an antenna analyzer. I see different nanoVNA models for sell - which might be the best model to purchase? I have one of the original MFJ-259 Antenna Analyzer - which is VHF only. I have used Anritsu and Rhode & Schwartz VNA's - so familiar with VNAs and HP spectrum analyzers w/ tracking oscillators. I also do side consulting and want to upgrade to something that can preferable handle: a. Ham VHF b. Ham UHF c. LoRa (900 MHz) d. Digicourse Bird Coils (27KHz) While SWR and impedance are certainly of interest, being able to seeing resonance points are of interest as well. Ideally target pricing below $500 but would probably go to $1000 if my arm was twisted.. With all that being said, let the recommendations freely fly - and thanks in advance! '73, Mike KK5SC
