Hi David
I think you should read my response to this question.

You negative conclusion is not valid.
Pragmatic solution are still useable and in addition using the
NanoVNA-saver you got it all to perfection.

Yes, but NanoVNA-saver doesn¡¯t give one a *stand-alone, self contained unit*
like an Agilent FieldFox. Personally I don¡¯t want to have to use an
external computer with the NanoVNA.

I obtained a couple of those T-shaped calibration standards with an open,
short and load. I paid less than $50 each. A few user-defined calibration
kits solves the problem.

*You and I have very different intended uses. I think we will just have to
agree to differ *

1) You wish to use it as a data collection device and do the processing in
software on a PC - much like the VNWA

2) I want to be able to use it outside, without having an external PC.

The Agilent FieldFox gives the best of both worlds.

* Totally self contained, so maybe used without any PC.

* Software that allows one stream data directly to a PC if one wishes.


Dave.
