Happy Holiday to all:

I am have a problem with reading my SWR, Refl Coef, % refl power, and Return Loss. Each scan the number stay the same. I am running WinXP SP3 on each computer, one is a laptop, the other is a desktop. Example below.

SWR= 1.#QO
Refl Coef= 1.#QO
%refl power= 1.$
Return Loss- -1.#.Jdb

Equivalent Circuit numberbers are readable. Thanks Dennis

Hello Dennis,

Does the scan of an antenna or a component look reasonable?
After calibrating, scan the load resistor that was used for calibration.
It should produce a nice flat line. If it's a 50 ohm resistor, the SWR will be 1.0 and the return loss will be greater than 30 dB.

Make sure the plots for SWR and return loss are enabled.

I understand Bob. I did not have my number enter correctly for Zo. All numbers are readable. Thanks
