Greetings. I use 'screen protectors' on both my 2.8" VNA and my new 'F' model. NO issues.
I started using these a long time ago on my 'smartphone' and have used them on my Icom 7300, 7610, 9700 and Kenwood TS-890 radios, NEVER any issues.
I usually buy the 'tablet' size and cut them to fit. After a couple of tries, it becomes very easy. YES, there is a 'learning curve'.....

The BNC calibration standards are not nearly as good as the SMA ones.
There is more stray capacitance and series inductance in BNC because of the
bigger size. I made BNC calibration standards and they work ok, but the
error is definitely much greater above 400 to 500 MHz.

Why not use ordinary BNC hardware with an adapter? Maybe not good all
the way to 900 MHz but fine for casual use.

The picture is attached. It is simple. One of them is unmodified for the
open, you solder a wire between the center conductor and two PCB edge
mounts for the short, and use two 0805 or 1206 100 ohm resistors, soldering
the resistors from the center pin to the edge mounts.

A pack of 5 of the connectors cost me under $2 on ebaay.

I am using Hugen's latest AA FW but have also checked with QRP's latest. I am
under the impression that the format LINEAR is equal to rho, the absolute
value (modulus) of gamma (S11),
and that the formats REAL and IMAG are the real- and imaginary parts of gamma.
What bothers me is that in both Hugen's FW and QRP's FW the sign of format
LINEAR is negative, whereas I expect that an absolute value is positive per
definition. Have I got it wrong? Please help me.

CH0 LINEAR is displayed on device as positive small values with QRP 0.4.3 firmware.
Need to set e.g. REFERENCE POSITION 1 and SCALE/DIV .001x1

Hi Oristo,

I uploaded it again. You can get it from the same link:

neb

it requires Android 7+

I have not tried, but:
Amazon Fire 7 tablet is on sale for US$30


My understanding that it is based on Android 7+

and can be tweaked to use Play Store apps

and supports USB OTG
.. so may work for Android NanoVNA WebApp

Hi neb -

The software is under development, but if you are interested you can
get it from here:

That URL expired after 1 week.

Thanking everyone for their responses. I was able to resolve the issue by performing a screen calibration using the Touch Cal function in the menu

Hello Norbert,
looks like a bug to me - I'll be sure to check it out and try to get it
fixed :-)

I placed an order on EBay for a low priced NanoVNA from dowjors3236. He did not have a lot of feedback at the time.
I knew I would get either the VNA or my money back.
Got an email that it was going to shipping and a tracking number.
Kept checking the tracking number and it never said shipped.
When the delivery window ended, I filed with EBay, after leaving negative feedback for vendor.
After I filed, vendor requested EBay open a case.
The next day I received a refund because tracking number was not valid.

Vendor now has a lot of negative feedback, do not know why EBay has not booted him.

At least I got my refund.

Hi Rune,
the reset reference button is not working for the S11 & S21 LogMag (dB) window (pls see attachments).
If I hit reset reference nothing happens on this window. Reset right on this window works fine.
Is this per design or a bug?

Kind regards

Hello

I just received my NanoVNA -f (4.3 inch display) . When I try to select a menu option
The options disappear. ( No green highlighting unless you use the jog wheel)
Is a stylus needed?

=============================

Bob,

You need the nanoVNA-F group:

Have problem shown up specifically with nanoVNA Saver? I am running Pyton 3.8 and it appears to be working just fine.

Bob did you remove the plastic protective cover from the screen?

I just mine today too and it's wonderful!

How about adding the SWR display like 5.1 but keeping the smaller fonts?

On the 5.1 version some of the top line data on the right side of the
screen gets clipped as well.

Wayne, just don’t use Version 3.8 of python…its buggy…
I have this running fine on Catalina with v 3.7 of python.

My comment was sent to nanovna-f, not nanovna-users. NanoVNA-users is open
to anyone to read, but nanoVNA-f is not.
