Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
I'm real time on my H4, so hope this maps to yours. QUOTE (Dean, W8ZF): This just confuses me again. "Remove the calibration and save that to the default slot (0 slot) when using NanoVNA Saver."

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
Can anyone direct me to the latest SAFE version of nanovna-app? I went to GitHub and found a branch under DiSlord. There is a Win32 release of NanoVNA-App.exe from 2 months ago. When I try to run it,

S22 - Re: [nanovna-users] Smith Charts
No relay to switch the source to the second port. (and no bridge on the second port, either) The NanoVNA doesn't use a directional coupler - it's a straight up bridge on Ch0 and a pad on Ch1. Now that

Re: Smith Charts
Brian, Ahh yes, the old HP AppCAD program. I loved that thing back in the day. Not perfect, but a pretty decent tool, and you can't beat the price. For those looking for more information on this

Re: Smith Charts
Randy, if the program proves helpful for your students, that would be just great. I didn't set out to write an s-parameter plotter. I wrote a little utility to renormalize the s-parameter reference

Hi, Brian, This looks really good to me. Very crisp and sharp lines. Using Gwenview under Kubuntu here in case it matters. 73, Maynard W6PAP

Re: Unexpected antenna measurement difference
Hi, have I ever mentioned that to be a difference ? yes, one has SMA, the other has solder joints. Both have had the same balun (obviously) what triangles and what "groundplane" would those be ?

Re: Smith Charts
Thanks, Dean. The S22 Smith plot is available. I've attached one that looks like abstract art. I was just curious whether I was gilding the lily. The program includes a utility to merge two .s2p files

Re: Smith Charts
Brian, S22 is also useful and a Smith chart presentation would be desirable. But this would have less priority because the nanovna does not have the capability to measure it. Plus, you can always
