I am an RF / microwave engineer with over 40 years experience. I have used numerous high end VNA's and written calibration and load pull software.
I just received a NanoVNA6000-A. I can cal the unit locally and get measurements that look reasonable (3.5 GHz bandpass filter). Cal is 3.4 to 3.6 GHz
with 201 points. When I connect the QT software the frequency sweep is stuck at 200 MHz to 1450 MHz and never updates. I re-did the cal from the
QT software and still no change in frequency. I flashed the latest firmware with no change. I think I actually had the latest to start with.
Running up to date Windows 10 on a Dell notebook. I have the dll files in the same directory with the exe file. Do they need to go to Windows
or SysWOW directory?
With the Saver software, I get the frequency sweep I set on the unit. And I can cal from Saver and see results very similar to the local cal.
I have different questions about Saver that I will address later.

Beware of cheap underperforming clones
As of 2023 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.
See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.
