[hpsdr] Thinking outside the box ...

[Phil Harman]

I agree with Sid, using Hermes as a VNA is totally feasible. I see the  QVNA C++ source code  from Stefan, DL2STG, is available which would make a very good starting point.

Anyone fancy this as a ‘weekend’ project

The HiQSDR somewhat mirrors Hermes in design and there is a program written for it called qvna in addition to having that capability as part of the main qsdr transceiver program, so it's eminently possible with Hermes.

To go with it is a return loss bridge I am in the process of building.
Details at hiqsdr.org.

  Hi all,

   

  I was just doing a bit of thinking about my “Wish List” which includes a Mini VNA Pro some time down the track.

   

  Given the nature of that beast and the nature of the HPSDR project, I was wondering if it might be feasible to configure or program the HPSDR setup to behave like a VNA tool?

   

  I have no idea if this is practical or even what would be involved, but wouldn’t it be great to have a VNA built into our radios?

   

  Food for thought???
