Re: Is this NanoVNA faulty with the menu shown like this?
??? I don't think so. My keyboard display on the H4 looks just like his
photo. The back-arrow or return key dismiss the keyboard if no entry is
made. This may have changed depending on the firmware

Re: Is this NanoVNA faulty with the menu shown like this?
Hello,
Yes, you are missing the "back" button on the menu.
You did not say which "certain occasions" it happens on. You need to state that also.
But definitely there is a problem. I could not repeat

Stan, here's Rudy's answer to your question:
"Yes, I always reset before a new calibration and then check afterwards with Smith Chart OSL."

Re: Is this NanoVNA faulty with the menu shown like this?
The "scale/div" menu item does not use those other range keys on the
keyboard, like some other items do (at least for the traces with dB values
and phase angles, I didn't try all trace types).

i don't think so, but it runs fine on my Win 10 64 bit machine.
It also runs in parallels on Mac OSX, Win 10 64 bit R85

That's more like it, although it sure doesn't look like a *30 MHz* LPF. More like 10 MHz. You might zoom in on 1-21 MHz.
OTOH those ceramic filters are not necessarily 50 ohms in and out,

Well, it sure looks like a low pass filter - the cutoff looks a bit high for a filter described as a 30 MHz Low Pass. I'd set the span to something like 0.1 to 100.1 (that makes the divisions on the

Not an issue - you pressed the Scale button and you need to enter a new scale reference then click ENT

Set it to LOGMAG.
Freq. range was 1 - 100 Mhz.

I can tell it was wrong setting. It is showing resistance?
I should have set it for LOGMAG?
Will try again later.

The menu display containing k M G is cut off.
It happens in certain occasions, not all the time.
Is this faulty? Or is it because something else?

Re: Accuracy
Sorry to ask, but is he resetting the calibration each time before
calibrating? Missing that requirement was my problem last time I had a
similar issue.

Re: Accuracy
I put less emphasis on the 25-ohm measurement after calibrating with 50 ohms because then the load accuracy matters. I think he used a pair of highly accurate HP loads, but who knows the exact values.

Re: Accuracy
Here it is. Same resistance offset (looks like same percentage, too). The reactance slope now extends throughout the frequency span.

Re: Accuracy
That is weird. The reflection coefficient (raw) is going to be (50-25)/(50+25) or 0.333 That's not getting anywhere near the noise floor.
It would be interesting to see what he gets if he

Re: Accuracy
Yes. N6LF calibrated with a 25-ohm load and then immediately measured it. That's why I don't understand the result. The resistance offset looks like a numerical bias issue. I don't know what to make

Re: Accuracy
The actual limitation is the SNR into the detectors. That's driven more by circuit noise within the 5 kHz measurement bandwidth.
In round numbers, each measurement is about 50-60 dB SNR. 60 dB SNR
