Re: Place to buy
Hi Mike
I see them¡. but I guess I would question why you are worried about it. That spike will have no meaningful impact on any measurement you make.
I would be interested to know though how the

Re: Battery?
Hi Larry,
Please be aware, that the charging chips (x2), are mounted on the Battery. Actually within the transparent heatshrink wrapper of the Battery itself, not on the nanoVNA Board! Or at least

Re: Place to buy
Hi Warren
Good thought about the bin boundaries, worth further investigation.
I'm definitely seeing a 600MHz spike as well at times though, see attached
photo. (Apologies for the poor quality.) Any

No apology needed. My comments can be acerbic at times¡.
One additional point. While 80 dB of dynamic range is ¡°better¡± than 70 dB, I would be very interested to know who has a requirement that

Re: Battery?
If you already have a small LiIon cell that will fit inside without being pinched by anything on the PCB, go for it.
There is a datasheet for the charging chip in the files section so you can get an

Re: Battery?
Thanks for the tip! The batteries I have lithium with the protected circuitry and would slip right into the gap where one should presumably be. I'm just worried about the voltage. Of course I guess I

Re: Battery?
Hi Frank,
If you dont mind a thin battery stuck to the rear of the unit, you can use any lithium device from a cellphone. Just solder leads from the battery to the spots on the nano. The nano already

Re: Place to buy
Makes sense, my apologies for the snark.
It would be amazing if this thing worked properly with such a huge dynamic range.
Having messed around with the si5351 myself,
I'm fully on board with the

Battery?
So I picked one of these up with minimal knowledge on what it can even do, but in looking around it seems these are supposed to include a battery. Mine does not. I've looked at the PCB directly and

My NanoVNA is operating on the fundamental at 300 MHz and on the third harmonic for the rest of its range. It has no trouble getting to 300 MHz. It can, at times, display a spike at 300 MHz but

Warren,
Perhaps you didn't see this post: /g/nanovna-users/message/1315

Re: Place to buy
I have reviewed the entire thread. The only difference I see is a reported difference in dynamic range and, as you can see, I have questioned the measurement. Since the screen only displays 70 dB of

Re: Your NanoVNA version - good clone, semi-bad clone comparison
I actually question whether or not the ¡°spike¡± is ¡°real¡±. And I further question whether it actually affects operation.
There is a discontinuity at 300 MHz in the NanoVNA. The Stimulus is

Re: Your NanoVNA version - good clone, semi-bad clone comparison
Hi John
The 900 MHz NanoVNA switches from using the oscillator fundamental to using
a harmonic at 300MHz. The trouble is that the oscillator chip isn't
specified to work up to 300MHz. Although most

Re: Your NanoVNA version - good clone, semi-bad clone comparison
Would it be possible to tell us - in layman's terms - how the spike at 300 MHZ can be corrected through software?
