Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
** No, the "clicks" are never in the same place. We will say, to simplify, that it is parasites that cause this. We find the same thing in the .S1p files but it's less troublesome. If I want data

Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
Hello Francois, What if you slightly change the frequency range and/or number of segments? Are the errors still at the same frequency? Good work you are doing by trying to make it clear! All the best,

Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
What Stan said. It appears that the nanovna is doing a "mean average". In statistics, the N number of samples are examined to find the largest and smallest, or other measure of outlier, values which

Fran?ois, It would be helpful if you described the specific frequency span you are using, the number of segments, and the frequencies where the "errors" occur. If there is some sort of bug in the

Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
The NanoVNA makes multiple sweeps, and NanoVNA-Saver averages them. One thing to remember is that if the sweep is >101 points, it's actually multiple sweeps strung together. I do not know. Maybe it's

Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
I have a NanoVNA H version 3.5 software 1.0.64, kernel 4.0.0 I need to check where the bump is. It does not happen always... When i see it again, I will report. All the best, Victor Op vr 29 jul. 2022

Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
Which nano and which firmware? Do different nano-types or firmware versions make a difference? On my old nano (H3.2) I had a bump around 6 MHz, but it was a known errror. Arie PA3A

Re: nanovna-saver : Sweep setting
I also see sometimes these 'clicks' coming at the same frequency in the measured results. But after a recalibration they are most of the times gone.But they indeed happen, why I don't understand. I

Re: cut/lengthen vertical antenna wire
Cracked it at last using Nano vna. Analysis shows cut length of 16feet and 6 inches is too long as resonates at 13.198MHz and not my target of 14.175. Reverse maths gives a constant of 218 (resonant

Re: cut/lengthen vertical antenna wire
Or use a tuner at the feedpoint. Small changes in resonant frequency (10%) are easily tuned out with minimal loss. Even with a feedline, and tuner at the radio end, the losses are small.

Re: cut/lengthen vertical antenna wire
The formula (feet)=234/MHz for a quarter wavelength is just a rough starting point. The resonant length is affected by many variables, like conductor diameter and the placement of nearby conductors
