Re: Nano VNA Prt I Basics: Part II Under the Hood de k3eui #video
HELLO ALL As of July 16th: I gave the Nano VNA talk in two installments to the Leicester Radio Society (UK) but I did not record it and I did not post it. I'll contact the person who did post it and

Re: Capturing and saving measurements
NanoVNASaver also uses heuristics for NanoVNA V2plus4: https://github.com/NanoVNA-Saver/nanovna-saver/blob/b0a21bc164bc23a64f368a8f86b8faf1cc4a9969/NanoVNASaver/Hardware/NanoVNA_V2.py#L150 this might

Re: Capturing and saving measurements
thanks, DiSlord. Once I changed bandwidth to 4kHz on NanoVNA H4 then SimSmith connects/interacts with the device. I tried both 101/401 data points and both settings are okay. Still no luck with the

Re: Regarding calibration of a nano-vna #calibration
50 ohm PL259 O239 connectors are readily available. Agree that if the discontinuity is very short compared to a 1/4 wave it make little/no difference. Going from a 50 ohms, through a 30 ohm PL259, and

Re: Capturing and saving measurements
I can connect SimSmith vs my NanoVNA H4 SimSmith use old data exchange format, and not allow get data if set low bandwidth setting on Nano (need more big timeout)

Re: 1/2 coax wavelength #nanovna-h4
Very easy - cal the vna, hook up your coax, look at the *phase* of S11.? Cut until the phase is zero degrees at your frequency of interest.? Your cable is a multiple of half wavelengths. 180 degrees

Re: 1/2 coax wavelength #nanovna-h4
Forgot one important note. Trim the coax stub until the dip is at the desired frequency. *Clyde K. Spencer*

I have used NanoVNASaver and SimSmith earlier this year to construct the output matching network of a DIY BS170 small signal amplifier. This required constant switching between NanoVNASaver (to

1/2 coax wavelength #nanovna-h4
Hi guys Wonder if you can acctually cut an exact 1/2 wave coax for a given freq without getting VF and math usong nano VNA. It woukd be very useful when making 4:1 balun with better accuracy rather

It looks like the file in that One Drive folder has been deleted. It was good when I downloaded it yesterday. I have a copy of it on my hard-drive but it's almost 3GB. Too big to email and I don't

Re: Regarding calibration of a nano-vna #calibration
Hi David, I had a similar problem and used the SMA to PL-259 and PL-259 to SMA adapters. I guess you know that the PL-259 connectors are no where near a 50 ohm environment (around 30 ohms I think).

Re: Regarding calibration of a nano-vna #calibration
It's all about "length vs wavelength" so.. a cm or so of adapter against 10m wavelength? Not going to make a big difference at HF (1cm is 0.3 deg of phase at 30MHz) I use a SMA to SO-239 pigtail about

Re: Regarding calibration of a nano-vna #calibration
This is a timely thread as I just received my -F this week. My HF antennas all have PL-259 connectors. To connect them to the NanoVNA, I already have SO-239 to SMA Male (like these

Re: That pesky 50 to 75 ohm conversion.
Lay off the griping and make the measurement in a 50-ohm system. With that, you'll learn how better to use a VNA. Grumpy: Dave - W?LEV drkirkby@...> wrote: -- *Dave - W?LEV* *Just
