First I want to thank all that responded to to my question. I remember back in my college days in the late 60¡¯s, we used very large Tektronix scopes, and on the top of the scope was a small pop-up compartment that held a small manual. On that manual it stated ¡°RTFM¡±. For those that don¡¯t know what this acronym means, it is ¡°Read The Fu#king Manual¡±. I remember how thick that actual manual was, and it may take hours of searching the manual to find out how to use a function on that scope. So instead we would ask the instructor and they would give you the answer.
Fast forward to today with Google, YouTube, Wiki, etc. These tools make life so much easier. But, the problem is sometimes even with these great tools, you still cannot find the answer you are looking for. After many hours of searching, you have two choices: give up and move on, or ask for help. I choose the later.
The NanoVNA is a great tool, and I wish I had something like this many years ago. But, like that old Tek scope, it has features and functions, that to some, are new and hard to understand. I come from ham radio where SWR was all you had to found out how an antenna performed. Now, I am an engineer with many years in RF communications, but a lot of the brain cells have reformatted and now need to be updated.
I would hate to think that this great tool we have could be construed to be so complex and hard to understand and use, that it too ends up on the unused shelf in our shack collecting dust.
Thanks again
