Re: Proper way to measure cable length
You can measure the length using just one port. Leave the far end of the cable open circuit. For a cable that long, you need to set the frequency range to something like Start:50kHz, Stop 150MHz.

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
In order to measure the electrical length of some coaxial cable you need to know its propagation constant.? Then you use the Smith chart to find the one-eighth wavelength (one quarter of the way

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Best way to accurately measure the length of a piece of coax is with a tape measure.
If you insist on using your nanovna, read the thread around this post:

Re: nanovna saver on saa-2N
David, you are correct, NanoVNA-QT is the application designed for the NanoVNA SAA-V2.2 (SAA-2.2, 2N etc). NanoVNA-Saver is supposed to work, but as noted by a couple of SAA-2N users, has some

Re: nanovna saver on saa-2N
I have not yet tried mine using SAVER. However, due to different
architecture and oscillator, I was/am under the impression you need an
application different than that embodied in SAVER. According

Re: KIND REMINDER
Yes, engineering notation employs a subset of standard SI prefixes with factors of 1000 between them. Also, their spelling, including capitals, conforms to SI.
Is it? The SI unit symbol is m

Re: SWR measurement of CB antenna with PL-259

Below 30 MHz, so long as you keep it short and sweep, you can get away with
(short) clip leads. When lengths approach 1/20 of a wavelength in free

Re: KIND REMINDER
In the example, k is correct but K wouldn't lead to confusion because the capital rule applies to *units* (Hz in this example) and k is a *prefix* (scaling factor if you will).
