Hi Igor,

Did that too, enabled RTC, SDCARD, enabled 192K and it works ok for me.

Also, in order to have the same IF as with 96K
I've modified the nanovna.h at line 50 with this
//#define FREQUENCY_OFFSET 12000
#define FREQUENCY_OFFSET 24000
and it also works ok again

We can wait though for DiSlord to test his code according to how he feels it is ok before he uploads it regarding the 192K so we all have the best results from him.

#White screen #white #fix

 

I got a brand new Nano vna h v3.4. Right out the box no cables. At all. No connectors. Nothing. No charger. I'm dealing with it right now with the seller and they want me to return it. They did it to me on purpose. But I'm past it. I know it can be fixed. the vna shows white screen and I'm assuming it's fairly easily fixed. Idc if it can't be used without the computer. Whatever. But if anyone knows what causes the screen to be white like that I'd take a stab at fixing it. Not sending it out back to them when they intentionally sent me this bs. All because I needed to change my shipping address. Anyways. Any help is appreciated.


Re: NanoVNA application by OneOfEleven #applications

 

Do you mean the "bandwidth" settings Igor ?
Nope, I talk stop frequency.
Setting for example 1500MHz or 2000MHz disconnects the H4 from serial, it also offers to "save the .bmp" when clicking on Scan.

Bandwidth is a different issue..

they are not interchangeable and GPL code can not be turned into LGPL.

If the advert is to be believed, then the GPL code has been changed to
LGPL, which is not legal. I would like to know the reason for the extra L.

Check phase measure to 2.7G

Its ..... perfect

Re: Duplexer Tuning

 

One caution regarding using the NANO's for Duplexer tuning (and I've done
many using the HP 8753C): Typical goal is to adjust for at least 100 dB
isolation between receive and transmit frequencies for amateur repeater
operation. This applies to a 6-can BPBF design. The 8753C has enough
dynamic range to accomplish 110 dB of isolation with careful adjustment and
good cabling. However, the NANO's do not. They are capable of 70 dB,
depending on frequency, but not any more. You can typically 'guess' at the
middle of the isolation curve by rocking adjustments back and forth, but no
assurance of the target 100 dB (or better) isolation. If you are happy
with 70 dB of isolation, OK. Otherwise, not.

In simple words:
Then NanoVna measure signal level and phase it made fft (fast fourier transform for IF frequency) and grab all IF power in bandwidth range, bigger bandwidth, less measure, but also grab noise in this range. Less BW, more measure need, but less noise range and better result.

Thank you DiSlord, you are the best.
You have really done impressive upgrades!
I'm new to this firmware so got questions :-)
Appart from saving the params to card, is there a feature to take screenshots
saved in card too?
Please read post, all this new features about SD card in it
/g/nanovna-users/message/14447

What is the max frequency set? I cannot do 2000MHz (v0157, H4 108fw).
Also the BW - sometimes it takes over what has been set in H4, once it
overwrites the H4, not sure I understand it how it should work.
Do you mean the "bandwidth" settings Igor ?

If so, that is not the scan frequency, that is the baseband bandwidth, which can be set to 10Hz to 4000Hz .. NOT MHz

The baseband bandwidth is the bandwidth seen by the VNA at each scan spot frequency as it scans across the scan range. The higher the baseband bandwidth the faster the VNA scans, so low bandwidth settings make the VNA scan very slowly.

Thanks DiSlord,
I see how to change the date/time in the post you mention.

Re: NanoVNA firmvare, compiled by DiSlord #firmware

 

Add anothes screenshot 30dB up to 2.7GHz
I think it very good perfomance for H4

PS i not good in hardware, but possible need change filter to AIC ADC for get better results


Re: NanoVNA firmvare, compiled by DiSlord #firmware

 

While test 192k ADC i found interesting thing

Can you check work your H4 up to 2.7 GHz in different modes vs this firmware?

PS i see good results up to 2GHz, but and to 2.7GHz results not bad.
see screenshot
1-2.7GHz vs 40dB attenuator
1-2GHz vs 60dB attenuator

PS also fix some bugs, made startup more safe, BW show update after console command
PS 192k ADC code upload to git, but not enabled

Re: NanoVNA firmvare, compiled by DiSlord #firmware

 

Hi,

Got a H4.
Managed to get and solder the proper SD card part based on DiSlord's hint on what to buy.
Also soldered the required 32.768KHz osc.

My previous version is the latest release from Hugen's github.
And now I have flashed the new version from DiSlord.

A few questions

1. After flashing the new firmware, is it required to perform any type of manual command and initialization from the console commannds ? Obviously the previous calibrations are not valid anymore. What do I need to clean ?
2. What type of SD cards should I use, is there any recommendation on size or brand/type ?
