The Backstory:
The company I work for has been merged via hostile takeover with a nother company and most of the employees are being laid off or offered early retirement. A coworker is relocating to a company in Texas, cleaning out and gave me a year old, unused, Nooelec NanoVNA - Open Hardware Vector Network Analyzer Kit.
The Analyzer kit included SOLT calibration kit.
I downloaded NanoVNASaver.x64 from
I've played with the hardware and software enough to be passably familiar with the process, I used a 75 ohm CATV terminator to produce a 1.5:1 mismatch and the results were what I expected.

Given my hardware, software, and less then stellar knowledge and skill set, is it practical to measure the actual antenna input port impedance of several general coverage receivers?
It should work ok, but make sure your receiver can tolerate the input power? from CH0.
