Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
And thank you, Stan, for your feedback! 73, Dean W8ZF

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
Thanks Dave, So if the H4 internal cal is *independent* of the nanovna-saver cal, exactly what are you clearing with nanovna-saver's "clear all cals"and when would that be necessary? I ALWAYS either

No. They are independent. Dave - W?LEV [email protected]> wrote:

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
Dave, correct information, but you did not address his real question: Is the nanovna-saver 0.4.0 calibration dependent on the nanovna internal cal? I was taught (back a couple of years ago) that

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
Thanks for the replies. There seems to be some disagreement on #2. Appparently for some versions (maybe all), the cal in nanavna-saver IS dependent on the H4 being in a calibrated state before the

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
QUOTE: 1) What is the persistence of calibration done through nanovna-saver? I.e., does it persist if the USB cord is disconnected and the H4 is taken for mobile measurements? Any cal done within

Re: H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
#2 is correct. The calibration done in nanovna-saver is solely in the computer. It can't be saved to a slot in the nanovna, partly because -saver has more sweep-point options. You need to do the

H4 + nanovna-saver calibration
I use nanovna-saver with my H4 because it aggregates several useful functions for operating, storing, printing, and exporting measurements. I am confused about the calibration done from

Re: H4 calibration
Surprised you said that. Only takes about 2 minutes for the whole procedure. And if you don't care about S21 measurements you can skip the last two steps and only do SOL (short-open-load) Roger

Re: H4 calibration
If you use SAVER on a PC or laptop, you can store your verious cals on those and access them later for use. Calibrate once for each frequency range and setup.....store on a "big" PC........recall for

Re: H4 calibration
New here. Any tricks to make calibration easier? It is a real hassle as it is.

Re: Calibration question
Clyde, in HTs used for their purpose, which is portable communications, the body of the HT, and even the body of the operator are all part of the antenna. If you mount a rubber duckie directly on a

Re: Calibration question
This can be improved by adding a small Common Mode Choke at the VNA end to help isolate the coax from the case of the device. The frequency being measured also has an impact. *Clyde K.

Re: Calibration question
Yes, I have noted that the SWR changes when holding the VNA vs. not holding it, and touching the SMA connector vs. not touching it. The readings generally are better when touching vs. not

Re: Calibration question
Ken, the behavior of rubber duckies depends significantly on the radio they are attached to. So, to get reasonably accurate results when measuring them with the nanoVNA, I suggest that you build a
