Hi and thanks for including me in the group. I recently bought a FA-VA5 analyser 99% built with the standard 100Mhz calibration plugs and all went well in the assembly phase. However, when I came to

Thanks all. It's an interesting little meter for the price. I think it's in the ballpark with a 30 dB attenuator at least for HF QRP measurements...

There is no calibration on the FA-VA 5 output power. The output power also depends on the selected frequency. For an antenna analyzer (or network analyzer) this is not a problem as any level of output

It seems this device is built around the Analog Devices AD8307. Assuming this is a genuine AD product, I'd just go with the values from the datasheet, rather than use FA-VA5 as a calibrated source. Of

I suspect the Power is calibrated for a sine wabe Square wave will be way off. -- VY 73, Wes AE6ZM

Can anyone tell me if the 5.6 dBm square wave output of my FA-VA5 is a reasonable accurate signal level for calibrating my Aliexpress power meter? K5BCQ had mentioned in another group.io forum that he

Thinking about "condensed pages on certain critical aspects of FA-VA5 usage", it would probably be good to hear about those initial difficulties encountered by new FA-VA5 users. We already know for

Thank you John. I'll look at those as well. Dave VE1VQ/VA6NS

Thanks Dieter, Appreciate the information. Dave VE1VQ/VA6NS

I bought mine from sdr kits as well Get the case and extra calibrated elements -- John VE3IPS

Hi Dave, I would refer to SDR-Kits in the UK. I bought mine from them. https://www.sdr-kits.net/VA5-Antenna-Analyzer-Kit 73 Dieter, VK3FFB

Is there a source or sources for the FA-VA5 in Canada? If not, where would be supplier and a website with information to order for shipping to Canada? VE1VQ/VA6NS

Thanks Mel.

Here is a finished one. Mel, K6KBE

Here is one in process. Mel, K6KBE

Hi Mel, Good stuff. If you have a picture, please post. thanks & 73 Dieter, VK3FFB

Fine work, Jacques. I'll convert it to pdf and upload in the "Files" section of our group. 73 Dieter, VK3FFB

Hello All, Back in 2019 I did a presentation at the Boxboro convention which might be of interest.? I use my FA-VA5 to do many measurements. ¨Get the Most from Your Antenna Analyzer¨

One thing that happened to me with other antenna analyzers, is whether the calibration was accurate.? So I did a test, a simple one with a termination of 50 ohms and a reactive load at a standard

Yes, please do. VA5 users are in the best position to improve existing "how-to" instructions. Initially, I did not understand the SWR sweep settings (< > M) and had to read the manual a 2nd time. I
