Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
Roger, Resolved: You nailed the issue. I thought for sure I was an SI type but sure enough the HW version is 4.3_MS. The flash changed it to SI. The unit will now calibrate with a stimulus of 50khz to

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
On my older firmware, the menu selection is config/expert setting settings/more/mode. The mode setting toggles between Si5351 and MS5351. This path may be different in 1.2.40. Tony AC9QY

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
The label on the back does indicate if it¡¯s using the MS5351. Someone (and I can¡¯t remember whom) mentioned that firmware 1.2.40 included support for both the Si5351 and MS5351. After flashing,

Re: NanoVNA and FY6XXX generator
Hi Gabriele, My signal generator is the FY6800 (60 MHz). I believe the FY6900 is very similar. I do not use it with my nanoVNA nor my tinySA. I have checked the output levels at 10 MHz using an old

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
Yes that setting is important. IF the OP bought his H4 a few years ago it is the SI version. I thought the label on the back indicated if it was an MS version It is easy enough to try both settings

Re: Types oif NanoVNA
If your primary use will be below 1GHz, get the H4. If you expect to do much above 1GHz, get a V2 or LiteVNA-64. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
I have lost your initial message, but if this is an -H4, isnthe MS/SI option ser correctly? That can change when flashing. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
Bryan, What was your original firmware version? Have you tried re-flashing back to that version? This would eliminate hardware concerns and focus solely on firmware. I noticed there are 10 issues

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
COULD IT BE? There are three ranges noted on the back label. 50k-300MHz, 300MHz-900MHz, and 0.9GHz-1.5GHz. If my stimulus start and stop crisses over one of these ranges then I see this happen. So

Re: Smith Chart acting up in calibration
UPDATE: It seems this only happens when my stop freq is above 300mhz. Is this normal or is my understanding flawed. I may have never noticed this because I don't recall ever using it that high. Bryan,

Re: Types oif NanoVNA
Depends on what you want. The H4 has less frequency range but I like the larger screen. I suppose you could get one of each. Zack W9SZ [email protected]> wrote:

Very hard to see what it would do better than the NanoVNA for filters etc You don¡¯t need the excess power and the output range is pretty limited for harmonic filters etc
