Re: Strange readings on my modded vna.
Can you switch off the calibration and do a full range scan with nothing connected. This will show if there is a hw problem -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/home NanoVNA Files:

Re: problems
Hi Bob, a general point: Some (early?) firmware versions for the NanoVNA "only" allowed operation up to 900 MHz. I suspect you have one of those - and that you will need to upgrade your firmware in

Re: problems
Hi Bob, It is true that when one has several hours, one does not know the exact time. Anyone with multiple VNAs doesn't know which one is accurate - maybe because everything is relative? :-) :-) :-)

Re: First PCB pictures of the V2
The firmware can be configured for up to 201 points, but there are still a few minor UI glitches we need to fix before this can be advertised. Sweep rate is by default 100 points/s, and this is what

Update.? I recalibrated and now the Smith display is okay.? Maybe I goofed and mixed up the calibration fixtures. Both units have a problem where they turn themselves off without provocation.?

Re: conecting to a homebrew hf verticle antenna
I presume this is for HF. A vertical antenna is not a differential source/load and should not be fed with a balanced line - your 600-ohm ladder line. A vertical of 1/4-wavelength long should be

Re: conecting to a homebrew hf verticle antenna
Bigger question is why a balanced 600 ohm line to an unbalanced vertical which typically is low impedance? Short form is the 19" of wide at most will skew the data as your moving the VNA 18 inches
