out of "Presentation on the NanoVNA for the raileigh Radio Society", Now: "False Return Loss Calculations"
Sorry, a typo lapsus had entered, a "-" instead of a "+":
evaluating the false formula, Instead of below "from this we get: RC = (50 + j100 ¨C (100 ¨C j100)) / (50 + j100 ¨C (100 ¨C j100)) = -50 / (-50 + j 200)." please read: " from this we get: RC = (50 + j100 ¨C (100 ¨C j100)) / (50 + j100 + (100 ¨C j100)) = -50 / (-50 + j 200)." The result at the right was not influenced by the typo lapsus, however. Sorry. I hope there were no other ones. (Let me know, if so.) Further, instead of the so far headline "Presentation on the NanoVNA for the raileigh Radio Society" where the above was just one point of so many, I think, we should better call the headline now "False Return Loss calculations". 73, Hans, DJ7BA -----Urspr¨¹ngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von DJ7BA Gesendet: Dienstag, 2.

Re: PC software with "CW" function SOLVED with avvidclif's freq command !
Dear Rudi,

you started the "PC software with" CW "function" topic. Shouldn¡¯t other similar, related information be written in the same topic? Slowly there will be 14,000 entries in this group, I think this is a record! Don't break up what you have to say, please. Thank you for your attention 73, Gyula HA3HZ PC software with "CW" function SOLVED with avvidclif's freq command ! --

Re: SMA TOOLS
In previous posts, several have suggested different torque wrenches. He was pro and contra.
It was not mentioned anywhere, leaving when disconnecting the SMA connection, it is not the torque wrench to be used but a standard wrench. This is just a small addition to those who have lived their lives without a torque key so far. 73, Gyula HA3HZ -- *** nothing is permanent only change ( ) *** |
