the QVNA C++ source code from Stefan, DL2STG, is available which

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>The HiQSDR somewhat mirrors Hermes in design and
there is a program written for it called qvna in addition to having that

<P class=MsoNormal>I was just doing a bit of thinking about my “Wish List”
which includes a Mini VNA Pro some time down the track.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
