Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
Using nanaovna-saver, on a -f, I noticed that sometimes the circle on the Smith machine (on a simple capacitor, for example) could be larger than the grid circle. Now, systematically, even before

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
It depends on how different the results are. Remember, the FW interpolates Saver can do unlimited (in theory) number of points. It will just do the required points in segments. For H4 that would be X

Re: H4 calibration
Yes Reset first and then calibrate If what you are measuring does not have sharp valleys and peaks in SWR then you can just reduce the stimulus range on some NanoVNA's (like the -H and -H4) and the

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
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
