Oops - I need to read more carefully before responding. NanoVNA Saver will not do what you want. You have to save the calibration and manually reload it. Also NanoVNA Saver requires that the NanoVNA itself be calibrated to a range greater than or equal to the range you calibrate in NanoVNA Saver. And it needs to be exactly the same setting on the NanoVNA if you reload the calibration file in Saver later on. I prefer to use NanoVNA app by OneOf Eleven. Much better user interface, better graph scaling options, data smoothing and it retains settings if you close and reopen the app. Roger

Re: nanoVNA software for Mac?
Native Instruments LabVIEW Runtime is available for Mac so you should also be able to run Joe Smith's application if you download and install as necessary. You'll have to figure all that out on your own as I don't think anyone's tried it before:

Thanks to all who responded. It looks like nanoVNA-Saver is the one to try.

(Feature request) Smith's grid: circles of equal SWR display?
Hello!
I think it could be useful to have an option to display a circle of a given radius (set as the desired SWR value) to quickly check if the Smith's graphic exceedes that limit.
Yes, it is possible to enable a separate SWR trace for that, but I'd like to have it with just one trace on the screen.
Please comment.

Re: automatic loading of a nanovna saver cal file?
It seems that everyone is missing the SAVER part.
Anyway there is no such feature in the NanoVNA Saver.

Re: automatic loading of a nanovna saver cal file?
I believe it will load Memory 0 on power on so save the calibration to # 0 and it should load it for you on power on.

Re: Where to buy a NanoVNA H4 HW rev 4.3?
An early version of 4.2, that's probably why you do not have the
SD slot. You can solder one yourself ...
AFAIK the N variety was only made with NanoVNA V2, a different platform.
Only difference from the regular V2 is the metal case and the SMA to N
adaptors.
A few people made the same modification on their own, but it is a bit of a
hassle as you would
need to get N calibration loads ...

Looks good, not much of a change except that the new version is a few dB better from 200-280Mhz. On Tue, 11 Jan 2022 at 03:16, Stan Gammons via groups.io <buttercup11421= [email protected]> wrote: Not sure I did this right, but here is what I got.

Here is the image of my board and the s2p file (401 points, 5 segments,

Thinking about getting one just to see if the changes around
voltage regulators on the 4.3 version are significant compared
to the previous one. Yes no problem at all I will get some pictures, this is the V4.3 with SI5351, There is another version which is has a MS5351M which is V4.3-MS,
but I do not know if that one has other changes.

It's a slot for an SD card.
Where (and when) did you get your device from?

Here is how the PCB layout changed between 4.2 and 4.3 in the power supply
