F.y.i.:
The HCXQS group ontindie.com has refilled their nanovna V2's. So you can order again!
There is also now a version with RF cables and SOLT calibration parts for plus 10$!
If you do not find it: here <> is the link for the offer...
Have fun!
best regards
Chris

I don't remember this being mentioned before:
When the S-A-A-2 (NanoVNA-V2) frequency is changed, it does a "self cal" using an open, short, and load on its Port 0 input switch. The result is not great, but it is not terrible for some purposes. It seems to do a pretty good job near the center of the Smith chart, but not so well at the edges. Other than the expected phase differences due to the different calibration plane, it works quite well from 20 MHz to 700 MHz. I assume that the "raw" data it reports over the USB port actually uses this self-cal.
My unit has firmware version git-20200229-aea0dc4.
