Latest DiSlord's firmware where I find it
Hello
I have a nanoVNA SAA-2N HW V2_2 and I like to use the newest version of DiSlord firmware.
On this occasion I want to thank him for the hard work he is doing.
DiSlord's latest firmware version seems to be V1.3.12 but I can't find it.
Can anyone help me with a link to it?
Photos of my SAA-2N HW V2_2 for proper ID below.
Thanks for any help.

If they make an insertion/extraction tool it is because it is needed to avoid damaging the delicate connectors on the cable or, worse, tearing loose the mating connector on the board.
My father, a tool-and-die maker, told me that if you need a tool for your work and do not buy it, you will pay for it and still not have it.
73, Don N2VGU Do you have a URL for purchase, please? A quick search on Amazon and AliExpress was fruitless, and eBay gave: Harley Davidson tool box mount kit U FL EL VT 31-0578 which wasn't right. Otherwise ~US $36. 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: Email: david-taylor@... Twitter: @gm8arv

Try turning off WiFi and/or Bluetooth on RPI, I hope you lower the noise level.

Thanks Stan. That sounds reasonable but is it fixable?

Re: Start/stop points for HF SWR measurement
For your first question, regarding how wide is too wide for HF VSWR
measurements:
I have one saved calibration setup from 1MHz - 30MHz, which I use to see
the basic characteristics of a multiband HF vertical antenna (i.e. do I see
good dips on all the bands it is made for). Then I often set the range
smaller to see more closely what the VSWR is at my desired part of just one
or two bands. This works fine, no need to recalibrate for this general
VSWR use. Note that the nanovna firmware interpolates quite well between
calibration points, so reasonably accurate VSWR results are given. Note
also that the frequency position of the VSWR 'dips' (minimums) is not
dependent on calibration - finer calibration will only give a bit more
accuracy of the value of the SWR at that frequency. So for this HF VSWR
purpose, a single saved calibration works well across the HF bands. You
can experiment with this, by doing a detailed calibration for just one
band, say 13.5-14.5MHz, and comparing the VSWR value with what you get from
the 1-30MHz calibration, and you won't see large differences. However, if
you are doing other measurements, e.g. ones that require specific complex
impedance values, you should always calibrate over the frequency range you
are measuring.
For your second question, regarding number of points:
Note that with recent firmware, many nanovna hardware models support 401
points. It sounds like that is what you have, since you are getting 2.5kHz
steps across a 1MHz range. The actual number of points used is settable
via the menus. Which version of firmware do you have? and which model of
nanovna? (can be seen on the startup screen, or on the config->version menu
screen for more recent firmware).
I hope that helps a bit.

it ok to combine bands to save memory slots? For example, instead of having
separate memories for 20, 30, and 40 meters, would I still get a useable
reading if I combined them into one memory (start at 7 MHz and stop at
14.35).
Which brings up another question: If I set the start frequency at, say 6.5
MHz and the stop frequency at 7.5, and there are 101 measurement points,
that means each point should be 9.9KHz apart. However, the marker moves in
2.5 KHz increments. Is it just implying what the SWR should be at these
points?

Re: Start/stop points for HF SWR measurement
Actually, with 101 points there are 100 spaces, so divide the range by 100 to see the spacing.
I didn't write the code, but I suspect that the graphics engine interpolates between actual measurement points. If you set the range so that the spacing is too wide, you may miss something in between the points.
