Good idea, Have a house full of visitors this week. 3663 is fine. Can
do. Otherwise I will download the saver file and get ready. Thanks.

Mel, do you want to meet on 80 meters later? I¡¯m at my wife¡¯s place in
Nevada City, so I¡¯d think propagation along the foothills ought to be
good. Much more efficient to talk through issues rather than type back and
forth.

Let me know if this works for you. I¡¯m sometimes on 3663 around 5:15.
But pitch a time and frequency that works best for you.

By the way, regarding the serial port...if you plug the included cable
into your computer¡¯s USB port and the other end into your NanoVNA, it will
look like a device talking through a serial port (I think it defaults to
comm port 12)

Anyway...if you have downloaded the NanoVNA-Saver .EXE file...

1. Plug NanoVNA into included cable,
2. Plug other end of included cable into a USB port on your PC.
3. Turn the NanoVNA ON.
4. On your PC, click on the NanoVNA-Saver icon (or filename) to launch it.
5. The app should launch, and down in the left hand corner it should say
¡°COM12¡± in the ¡°Serial Port¡± field. (If you don¡¯t see a comm port listed,
something g is probably bunged up).
6. Assuming you see a com port listed, click the ¡°Connect to NanoVNA
button just below it. (this button will then change to say ¡°Disconnect¡± if
a connection has been established).

You can then use the Sweep button on the upper left to make sweeps.

Anyway ¡ª I¡¯d be happy to get on the air, too, if you¡¯d like.
