I just tried jackpal Terminal Emulator for Android. It seems to be only an xterm window to look at the Android system directories. I already had Termius, mentioned in the posted article of "Top 10 Android SSH Client ¨C Best PuTTY Alternative for Android", but it only works as an ssh client. There is no menu to connect as a COM port. SimpleUsbTerminal so I found it on Google Play Store and installed it on an Android. I was able to set it for 9600 baud, and it found my NanoVNA as a USB device but didn't have a driver to connect it. It reported vendor ID 0483 and product ID 5740, but that's all it would do. I can solve most problems with PCs but troubleshooting apps on Android isn't for me. For now, I'm happy to know about /g/nanovna-users/files/NanoVNA_Console_Commands_Dec%209-19.pdf that @Oristo mentioned.

===============================================
I'm sure Gabriel does not need to be reminded of "Time to market" as her V1 VNA never saw the light of day because the NanoVNA hit the market before she could finalize a production unit.
Her V2 VNA should have a little bit more breathing room because no one else has proposed a 3 GHz unit at her cost point and design specifications. She has said development costs are being funded by a third party whose only stipulation is that the project be open source. That's a rather strange business model unless the third party has deep pockets and is backing the effort as a service to the community. Usually a project of her size is profit driven with at least some anticipation of return on investment.
Still if the H4 4" is any indication, 2020 shapes up to be another good year for those of us who have benefited from these innovative and low cost VNA designs.

Re: Re : NanoVNA-Saver Linux update procedure
Probably they are part of a bigger package,
but here I need the advice of a Linux expert... You probably want e.g, python3-numpy, python3-pyqt5, etc Be aware that there are incompatible versions of Python and many Linux distros try support more than Python 3..

Re: NanoVNA-saver 0.2.2. crash
I am going to try Lucio's suggestion, to "uninstall" V0.2.2. completely. As I did have V0.2.1 on my W7 computer when I rolled V0.2.2 into the same directory.
In the mean time, I am going to take a break from my "toys"
I'll be lucky if I quit by 9pm today..
Perhaps wait for V0.2.3 as Rune was looking at issues.. (Thanks By THe Way)

Re: How high will Hugen v3.4 HW go?
Yes, Gabriel needs to lock down her design ASAP.
That little thing called "Time to market" can be a killer if you wait too long.
She has already made the schematics available and any unscrupulous vendor can begin to lay out boards, wait for the firmware to be available and push out inferior unauthorized copies.

Re: Installing NanoVna-Saver : First Time Problems/Fixes
Downloading "necessary DLL" generally sounds like a Bad Thing. If there are
DLLs missing, you need to install whatever software they come from -
generally, for Windows 7: Newest service pack, newest VC++ redistributable.
NanoVNA-Saver does not require you to download separate DLLs in order to
run it on Windows 7 32 bit.

Re: How high will Hugen v3.4 HW go?
Thanks for the reply Larry. I am curious as to how close the production v3.4 boards match, or hopefully exceed, the W.r.t of changes. I'm one of those trust but verify persons. Anyone wanting to ensure they receive the NanoVNA-H v3.4, as you said, should only purchase from hugen's Alibaba store. It is the only game in town until the inevitable wave of copycat clones start appearing.

Re: How high will Hugen v3.4 HW go?
I hate to have people complain about noise when Hugen did everything to prevent.... Will propose an option to unlock the 1.5 till 2.1GHz range for users that know what they are doing. The github code base has everything in it to reach 2.1GHz, you have to uncomment in SI5351.c the part that switches to 7/9 harmonic mode and in the main file set STOP_FREQUENCY to 2100000000 W.r.t of the changes in v3.4 that has already been covered in an earlier pos by Hugen. Its mostly reduction of supply noise, improved decoupling and driving of the 3*SA612 and careful tuning of PCB traces and resistor/capacitor values to improve the measurement bridge and the port impedances I strongly recommend people to ONLY buy from Hugen's alibaba store to be sure you get the best performance: /g/nanovna-users/topic/alibaba_ordering/69319901?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,69319901 -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/homeNanoVNA Files: /g/nanovna-users/filesErik, PD0EK

As I mentioned in an earlier message, I have the Kindle version of the book, A Guide to the NanoVNA. After trying to use it, I have a different opinion.
This is about a BOOK, not the sort of thing we write about to share information in messages and blogs and such.
To me, it's written more like a story book. Most all the pertinent information is embedded within the many paragraphs. Also, the possible need for a driver is mentioned near the end of the book. Something that should be close to the front: poor organization.
Another point is step-wise instructions indicating what to do, when, and the expected results. Needed Information embedded within long paragraphs is difficult to extract, usually requiring multiple reads.
I do have some background writing User's Guides, Training Manuals and so forth for a wide-range of companies, some multi-national.

Bob,
? Thanks for showing the fixtures. The group should start a "Fixture" gallery in the "Photos" section.
? On an unrelated matter, I noticed that your NanoVNA is indicating that it is calibrated but the smith chart display is not what I would expect with CH0 open.? Is this because of a test jig that you normally have attached to CH0?
