Re: Firmwares
Hi Jean - Rune Broberg is the author of nanovna saver, which I think uses a minimal subset of nanoVNA commands that work with most firmware, particularly including originally installed by Hugen, which

Firmwares
Hello, we have, with this fantastic device and everyone's contribution, a great tool for our hobby. We see quite often a new firmware popping up. Is there a way to understand how a new firmware will

It doesn't look like hugen has any plans to update his original NanoVNA-Sharp application. Both QRP and neb40gsm@... have done an excellent job of taking hugen's reverse engineered NanoVNA-Sharp

Certainly, that can be noted in the Smith plot. Agreed; in this case one is a legit cal standard and the other is about 47.5 Ohms and 1.4nH

Re: NanoVNA-H version 0.4.0-3 compiled on November 25, 2019
The T connector is not accounted for by the calibration..... BNC 50 ohm terminators can be very poor. They are sometimes a 1/8 watt axial lead resistor in the metal extension of the BNC. R varies

Hi Wolfgang, i'm glad you like it, the design and solution is Neb's merit - i just tested it and gave an opinion. I like it too, with clever solutions. 73, Gyula

Re: NanoVNA-H version 0.4.0-3 compiled on November 25, 2019
BNC Tee with terminators at the end of a pigtail is far from ideal... I suppose that mixer distortion may be inconsistent among samples. FWIW, when calibrated for smaller ranges, e.g. 200-800MHz my

HiGyula, a very nice and useful program! I hope it will be freeware and open source. It was a good idea to find the minimum SWR automatically. As an example I tested a DiskCone antenna for receiving

Re: NanoVNA-H version 0.4.0-3 compiled on November 25, 2019
Is if fair to conclude that for your HW there is no difference between 8 mA drive (power 3) and 6 mA drive (power 2)? Strange, I did clearly see a difference on my HW -- NanoVNA Wiki:

Re: NanoVNA-H version 0.4.0-3 compiled on November 25, 2019
The rise approaching 900MHz is related to power 2, not just random noise, switching power back and forth with saved calibrations. I suppose there is noise in calibration ( does it employ averaging? )

Re: NanoVNA-H version 0.4.0-3 compiled on November 25, 2019
Oristo, Can you do a calibration and a measurement of a 25 ohm resistor after you have fixed the output power to 6mA, so in console mode power 2 and then the calibration and measurement and see if

SCANRAW is for applications to grab e.g. more than 101 points, optionally with averaging, while paused.
