Greetings; One of the things I occasionally do is service my local AM radio station when its off the air. This includes trying to keep the VSWR under control.
I have a redpitaya Vector Network Analyser that I use to tune the tower, and it gives me the tuning state in the form of a smith chart. But while it claims to run with a linux system as the display, it doesn't, so I had to buy a cheap all-in-one with win 10 home edition on it. Works great but is a pita to setup and get started. The windows driver is also about 50x the size of the linux driver that doesn't work. What can I install to a buster machine that might make this graphical display work? We had, a decade back, a something or other "plot" that might have been able to draw a smith chart but I haven't seen it in the repos recently. It also was a square plotter, whereas the smith chart is circular at its maximum error limits. Can anyone suggest a linux substitute? Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
