LiteVNA 67, the VNA for old eyes?

This page is work in progress and will be updated frequently. 

On Tuesday 18 August 2026, I saw that the LiteVNA 67 was in stock at Eleshop.nl so I ordered it.

A day later, I could pick it up at a PostNL service point (i knew the package would be to big for my parcelbox).

At home, I couldn't wait to open the package, and although I didn't have much time to play with it, this is first impression :

• factory packaging is very good (also eleshop did a great job on the external packaging).
• look and feel are good, although a little lighter then expected.
• when you know the NanoVNA / LiteVNA, the UI doesn't have any secrets for you and you good to go without a manual.
• first few quick test show a increase of dynamic range vs the LiteVNA64 and the SV4401A I own.
• making it having lots of dynamic range for the Euro/$.
• quality of the supplied cables is quite nice.
• calibration kit seems ok,  but will look at it in the RF measurement lab at my company.
  • I was wondering, because the LiteVNA support calibration kit data, will be a calibration sheet/file available in the future for the supplied kit?
• supplied carry case is good
  • Would have liked to see a little more room for another set of cables (for example a N to 3.5mm/SMA) and a bunch of adapters).

 

Note : the N calibration kit doesn't come with the yellow holder (which is up side down on the photo, there is a O, S, L printed on it). If you want one, read this page on my website and you can 3D print one your self. 

Overall first impression : I think I'm going to be very happy with this improved LiteVNA (especially my eyes which are getting older).

What's next ?  

When I have time, I will setup a bunch of tests and put the LiteVNA67 to a bench test. Then run the same tests on my SV4401A and compare them. But looking at the specs and my first impression on the dynamic range the LiteVNA67 probably will win.  

 

Groups.io comment

One of the groups.io members asked :

I'm curious about the insides of it :)

There are 6 screws in the back (2 probably for the batteries, and 4 for clamping the front and back). 
But for now I will resist the urge to take a screw driver and open it ;-)

A cover for your LiteVNA 67

Although the supplied case is good, I like to use a different case which has more room for supplies and cables. To protect the screen, just as I did for my SV4401A VNA, I designed a cover to project the screen during transport.

This time I didn't do it in Tinkercad but used FreeCad to design it. The design is straight forward, just a cover with Fillet. The text is a ShapeString which i pocked with 0.05mm, this allows me to use a fill color to give the letters a different color on my BambuLab P1S with AMS. 

If you like the cover, but want to modify it, here is a link to FreeCad model to download.

If you want to 3D print you own, just download the STL file with the 0.05mm text pocket (for 2 color printing) or this STL file  with the 0.5mm text pocket (for print in 1 color).
