After upgrading to 0.8 firmware, SWR measurements seem off #firmware
I have one of the original type NanoVNA. The connectors are on the end, not the side. Anyway, I upgraded the firmware several months ago to the 0.8 version. Ever since then the SWR measurements always

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
I also added a tiger tail radial to my ICOM HT. Lesson well learned. Make sure you cover the exposed end of the wire before use. I was too eager to check for signal improvement, keyed down the PTT

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
As previously mentioned, the problem is because of the lack of a 'ground plane' or return circuit to the nanovna (or HT). Search the web for "tiger tail" or "rat tail" and ht or handheld radio.

They sell ready made sun shield or sun hoods for smartphones, tablets and laptops. The design is three sided with the fourth left open for screen inputs. Made in multiple sizes and places like Amazon

Re: Sun Shield?
I had the same problem, and after trying many times, finally added a NanoVNA-F to my test instrument collection. It's much better outdoors, but still not perfect. And it's more expensive. Indoors, I

Hi Roger, Setting the sweep points to 101 fixed the issue. Thank you for all the tips! Max

Re: Bad Cable
My prefered way is to look at the smith chart. When wiggling the connector/cable, the smith chart "goes wild" with a bad connector/connection. a good connector shows a stable image. You could also use

Re: 450-OHM WINDOW LINE........OR IS IT?
You are so correct, Don! I really don't care what the impedance or Vp is. Just parallel wire transmission line with low loss pretty much independent of SWR. You hit the nail on the head. Dave - W

Re: Bad Cable
One easy way of determining which end of a cable is bad is to connect the center connector to a wire and drag it across a portable radio's antenna. The good end will produce a lot more static.

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
interesting, but I'm not sure I buy his antenna test fixture: 1) in practice people hold the ht (or it's next to your body with a mic/headset) 2) he has no choke on the coax, so the coax is "part of

Re: Tone control capability
When you put the NanoVNA in CW mode it generates a square wave at that frequency. So you have a fundamental and harmonics of that frequency. I don't know what you mean by using the NanoVNA as a

Re: 450-OHM WINDOW LINE........OR IS IT?
A quick look at the line would be put a 450 ohm resistor at the far end and check at an odd quarter wave for the z on the nano. A given length of line has an odd number of quarter waves at

There's two kinds of these - one is little tiny louvers (Light Control Film), the other is a circular polarizer (the reflection flips the polarization, so it gets blocked on the way back out). I'm not
