Re: Storing and transporting your NanoVNA
John,
I used a hard shell plastic case with a foam liner that my $35 microphone came in.? I suspect, then,
that those cases are readily available cheap somewhere!

I have always used a Tee connector with the signal generator and the signal detector connected to the straight through connections, and the stub connected to the 90 degree angled connector. Just about any combination of signal generator and signal detector could be used, certainly including a NanoVNA. I have Tees here in several connector styles, including SMA, BNC, UHF, and probably others. I used to sweep stub filters with a Cushman communications monitor with spectrum analyzer and tracking generator, which had all BNC connectors as I recall. But I still used it for making RG-59 stubs with F connectors by using a BNC to F adapter on the stub. So long as the adapter is short and an insignificant portion of a wavelength at the desired frequency, it won't affect the measurement. I have also soldered cables together to make the Tee and stub and avoid the adapters.

===============================================
DiSlord,
The larger AA fonts in the previous beta firmware version might be preferable to some users. Perhaps that version could be the Nano-VNA-H4 antenna analyzer version, and the current beta version the default VNA release.
All other changes appear to be working. What are your thoughts about increasing the measurement points from 101 to a higher number in the future? More points would not be backwards compatible to the NanoVNA-H, but would take advantage of the larger flash memory and faster processor on the NanoVNA-H4.

Re: [Suggestion] AA version display
Yes thats what I was thinking about...! Thanks for the headsup. One question before I flash it, fully compatible with nanovnasaver? Cheers!

[Suggestion] AA version display
Hello everyone, specially our developers.
Since we have an Antenna Analyzer version of our FW, can we have it more simple for field use?
Simple information like SWR, or at least lowest SWR, etc...
Some examples below.

Thanks DiSlord you are absolutely right , I added the? "d" and it's ok, sorry my fault.

Need use 'bandwidth'
You enter 'bandwith' lost 'd'
Use 'help' command for recive list of all supported commands

Hi DiSlord,
Thanks for the new firmware. I flashed it and it runs OK. font looks ok

bandwith 9 or whatever number, I always get back "Bandwith?", sorry
about that.

Small update for NanoVNA-H4
Font fixes (try made mo readable, fix some font glyph)
Little slowdown i2c bus (as i calculated in last version i set 800kHz speed, it too fast, set it to 600kHz)
Little display text error fixes
I hope updated font look better

Re: Storing and transporting your NanoVNA
I've got mine in a belt-mounted digital camera soft-case with two compartments - one for the nano and the other for adapters and cables.
