Re: cal isolation
Yes, just declare the cal complete without doing the isolation.

Re: cal isolation
Many times, it's appropriate to skip the isolation cal. Even
professionally, HP (the 8753C) gives one the choice to specifically skip
isolation. If you do conduct the isolation cal, terminate both

Re: cal isolation
tekguy,
You should connect 50 ohm loads to both connectors. If you have an attenuator of 10 dB or more, that can be used as a reasonable 50 ohm load.

Re: nano vna small one is it the F
The-F model has a 4 inch screen with either the rocker switch or
pushbuttons depending upon models. Hugan made an original VanoVNA that was
small and had the rocker switch.

Re: H4 Shielding?
Garry,
'twas ever thus! /Caveat emptor!/ 2 things:
1) you might have had better luck with the antenna if there had been a coax choke immediately before the antenna feed. Even with lots of radials,

Re: Strange "Scatter" Sweep Traces
The fat traces are just reflecting noise within the system. Do an average
to mostly eliminate the "grass".

Re: Strange "Scatter" Sweep Traces
Chuck,
given the amount of green on the traces, it looks as if there have been several measurements taken at each frequency. What the graph then shows is the variation from one measurement, at a

Re: Strange "Scatter" Sweep Traces
Dave,
The S21 data shows up under the Marker Data for all S11 sweeps.
The software does that...not me...8^) I'm selecting only S11 options.
I showed only 1 marker for my question. Two others at 28.1

Re: Strange "Scatter" Sweep Traces
How did you measure S21 on a dummy load? A dummy load is a single port
device. Possibly you have attenuators which are 2-port devices?
Actually, the data doesn't look too bad at all for HF or even

Strange "Scatter" Sweep Traces
Puzzled?
I'm checking several dummy loads and get some sweep traces as shown in the attached:
If I were to see only the marker data I would conclude I have a good device.
But the strange traces

Re: New member question
#nanovna
Same here. I use my NanoVNA H4 for a lot of things, but I have used it in
analyzing and tuning antennas for all the ham bands from 475 kHz through
1296 MHz.
