Not sure where my original post went so i,m sticking this up again.
The blue rectangular box from mini radio solutions , a competent little VNA that works well on windows BUT can i get this Gen 1 VNA to work on Linux system ?.
And can i enable it for a smith chart up grade or has the plug been pulled on this old product .
Has it got something to do with VNA J program???.
I am not a computer expert , just need some pointers please in the right direction.

Thank you
PC with cpu 500Mhz or better, WIN98, WIN2000, XP or LINUX are supported
Of course that doesn't mean that you personally can get it to work on LINUX.
55dB dynamic range and 100kHz to 150MHz, 0.6 sec for 500 points why bother with it? You may be much further ahead with a low cost Nano VNA. Consider the Nano is much more popular and is currently supported. I understand there is software available for LINUX. The biggest reason you may want to consider is that while your question has gone unanswered twice, you may find much better support for the Nano.
WARNING! Do not connect to RF transmitter
I've read where someone did this with a NanoVNA.
