Hi Wes,

Yes, that's the round robin I was referring to. Although my memory of it 
was that the Boonton data was spot on, while other data was not. But 
since you did it, I'll trust your memory over mine. :)

If your VNA data did closely match the Boonton data, we should talk off 
list about your setup of the N2PK VNA, which is well known to be a fine 
unit.  I certainly would like a method I can trust that is a lot less 
work than the voltage divider method.

73, Jim
