  1. Here are some other VNAs:
    - the two-port miniVNA from Mini Radio Solutions: http://www.miniradiosolutions.com/ and sold by Barry at W4RT Electronics in the US. It covers up to 180Mhz, and there is a project on its support group to build an extender that covers up to 2.4Ghz:

    - the de luxe, ham-designed TimeWave AntennaSmith deserves a mention, even though at $1000 it is out of many ham's budget:

  2. And to add to the miniVNA, the price is nice considering the coverage up to and including the 2 m band.
