Re: Nanovnasaver plots
Hello Roger, I try to have zero extension after the calibration planes (at least for 30MHz). So I use SMA connectors with open, closed, load (2-100ohm SMD in parallel) and through pins, see:

It is recommended in the NanoVNA beta group that you power off to install or remove SD cards. IIRC some cards have been permanently damaged by "hot swapping". Roger

I have found (-H4, v4.3, DiSlord firmware v1.2) 1. I can hot swap the SD cards. No mounting, unmounting. I don't rush the write ops, but it is clearly done when it says it is. 2. I tried a newer 32 GB

Re: Inconsistent VSWR readong

I normally use the NanoVNA without the computer connected, and it matches well with my MFJ analyzer. When connecting to the computer today, I saw a similar issue when measuring an HF multiband

Re: Inconsistent VSWR readong

Is the MFJ running on batteries?? Or a wall wart? Personally seen erroneous readings MFJ on wall wart, batteries are better. Then check adapter/cable for NanoVNA. Something is different in the RF

1. I cannot get "VSWR" to start / display anything reasonable , BUT "return loss" works as expected 2. How do I delete "marker" - say delete all markers? (I hate clutter) 3. moving mouse wheel zooms

Re: Nanovnasaver plots
The calculations for S21 series method are based on the Port1 (Ch0) and Port2 (CH1) impedances Zref being 50+j0 (not |Z| = 50). See attached equations. I used the 15 cm Cable that came with my -H4 and

Re: Inconsistent VSWR readong

Another case which will result in varying readings is a vertical antenna (e.g for a handheld) which is lacking a ground/counterpoise/ground plane/feedpoint choke; then the measurement system becomes

Re: NanoVNA - Signal Generator
In some applications a square wave can be beneficial. Many mixers will perform better with a square wave LO than with a sinusoidal one. 73, Don N2VGU

Re: Inconsistent VSWR readong

When I have this problem it¡¯s usually because I¡¯m getting RF coming back on the shield, I put a couple of clamp on fairite chokes on or coil the coax and I get good readings again. Just an idea.
