Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
$450 seems a bit steep, but admittedly I've not been watching that market. It would certainly give you good functionality, including the specific functionality that you need for the task at hand. I

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
Yeah, but I don't like the Nanovna type stuff; it's not a proper VNA in my view. How about I buy the matching S-parameter test set for my VNA? I've been ( I@ve ) offered one for USD450 Would that
