Re: Very compressed SWR scale
#nanovna-h
Hi Marc, Just a heads up. It is possible that static on your antenna crisped your NanoVNA. It is really good practice to short your antenna cable before connecting it to your Nano VNA. Also be very

NanoVNA H4 calibration anomaly
I'm running into an issue trying to calibrate my NanoVNA H4 so that I can run S21 scans. I've done the calibration two ways: (1) using the NanoVNA-saver software and (2) using the on-screen menu on

Re: Very compressed SWR scale

The standards by their nature are delicate, as the manufacturer attempts to minimize parasitic capacitance/inductance. This often results in mechanically less-than-robust construction. This mechanical

Re: NanoVNA Not Recognized by Laptop over USB After dfu Upgrade
Thanks, The question is which statement in the manufacturer's brochure is incorrect. But the "other cable" is the one that came with the NanoVNA and it worked a few minutes prior to the point at which

Re: NanoVNA Not Recognized by Laptop over USB After dfu Upgrade
Hi, In point 8 you say that the new cable is identified as a "charging cable" and this type of cable is only for charging but not for data transfer. After that you say that in the description they say

Re: Very compressed SWR scale

hah, and I just sent a suggestion - yeah, it happens. And to someone with your callsign, how ironic. I've had more than one 50 ohm load turn into an open - or what's worse, 50 ohms at high

Re: Very compressed SWR scale
#nanovna-h
If you clear the calibration (reset), so it's totally uncalibrated, what does it show? It should show S11 fairly low with a load, and close to zero with either open or short. If it does, then check

Thank you Owen Duffy for an off list suggestion. Turns out the 50 ohm load had failed open circuit, so it was not calibrated. Replaced the load and now working perfectly. Who'd have thought one of

Re: Very compressed SWR scale

I suggest you do a Clear Config before you calibrate. Also remember to Reset before you do the calibration. Check your cal loads and make sure they measure open , 0 ohms and 50 ohms. Then cal and when

Re: Very compressed SWR scale

Thanks for all your assistance - I'm pretty sure my NanoVNA has a serious fault. A new one is on order. I checked the antenna with a SARK 110, and got exactly the result I expected, so that eliminates

Re: Very compressed SWR scale

I have done the calibration a few times so I think it's OK. Leaving the NanoVNA connector open gives an SWR of 1.183 right across 1MHZ to 40MHz. I think it's broken. I have measured a different

Re: Very compressed SWR scale

Feedline is ~30m of RG213. Not really practical to disconnect coax at antenna as it's 15 meters in the air. This NanoVNA has correctly measured the SWR 2 years ago. I think it has died.
