VNA-F V2 brand new screen black
So i have in front of me a brand new in package/container: a brand new -f v2
All metal housing, protective plastic on screen.
Upon start. Turn on. Screen flashes white then goes dark.
Very faint lines

NanoVNA-H version 3.6.1_SM_ST - ZEETK?
I have NanoVNA-H version 3.6.1_SM_ST. I had 1.2.27 (20.02.2024) from the factory.
During startup I had dashes, colored stripes on the screen.
I downloaded new software from hugen79 in version 1.2.43.

Re: How to calibrate IF OFFSET (intermidiate frequency) in nanoVNA H4
Hi
I think a 12Khz IF offset should be kept at default value and forget it , it gives the optimal Harmonic ratio filtering with the RC 1sft ordre low pass filter in the Hardware of nanovna

How to calibrate IF OFFSET (intermidiate frequency) in nanoVNA H4
I am learning about RF and antennas and I want to understand how do I figure out how much the IF offset is, in NanoVNA-H4. I could not find any article explaining how to check if the default IF

Re: New user
I first used a VNA when I was in Engineering within a National Broadcasting Network (CBC) and we used it for optimizing our transmitters and antenna systems. As a Young engineer it was an eye opener

Re: Smith Chart accuracy - what am I missing ?
Hi All,
In the post title it says "what am I missing ?". Well, I now know what I missed - tapping the "Done" key when calibrating !
I am so used to calibrating my DG8SAQ and Sark 110 VNA's that I

I got my first Nano VNA yesterday, a friend who used to live 10 miles away, now lives 1000 miles away bought it for me along with jumpers and adapters. Today I set up "presets" for 80, 40, 20, and 2

Re: Smith Chart accuracy - what am I missing ?
Hi Donald,
Thanks for that, it was pretty much what I was expecting, and ties in with what I am getting with my DG8SAQ VNA. I am also using a silver mica capacitor with about the same lead lengths.

Re: Smith Chart accuracy - what am I missing ?
Hi Stewart,
Out of grins and giggles I took a 470 pF silver mica cap which actually measured 454pf using smart tweezers. I then just used a test jig with my NanoVNA which was a white plug in

Uhm, right. This is over my head...
I was looking to find another impedance measurements for the said antenna, so I can check my measurements against. It looks to me unlikely to obtain such, so how

Re: Smith Chart accuracy - what am I missing ?
I get accurate results when measuring capacitors with my NanoVNA so I assume it is something with your setup or calibration. Without photos or screenshots we don't have much to work with here.

Hi Jeff,
Yes, you are right about the strays of the test jig, and about the capacitor lead length. However, I am using the same test jig and capacitor that, although not perfect gives milli ohms

Re: Smith Chart accuracy - what am I missing ?
Hi Stewart
Even at 7MHz it is unlikely that you will not be seeing some stray inductance and stray capacitance, so I am more surprised, at the 0 -j50 ohms. Unless your test jig is very good and the

Re: Smith Chart accuracy - what am I missing ?
Indeed 442 pF at 7.2 MHz, that's 0-j50 ohms No need for software to calculate that.
Z=1/Cw where
w=2*pi*F
C in Farad
F in Hz
pi 3.14
If with your NanoVNA you read: 11 ohms -j49 ohms, it's probably
