Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
For my nanoVNA version H3.2? I measured Returnloss on CH1: -55dB on 1 MHz, and -33dB on 30 MHz. More than good enough for measurements on those transformers. Have you ever tried your VNA measurements

What about the new SAA2? Any practical eperience yet? On paper it's much better than either F or H4.

Your ship confirmation from Tindie should have included a tracking number (in my case, of the form LW...9 digits...CN). This form of tracking number is accepted by usps.com (which in my case shows

Re: can't make a Thru calibration?

Nanovna-saver seems to show a flat line. 1. I'm not sure now. I never noticed this before, because I always used this at over 100MHz. The problem appears when the sweep starts at low frequencies. 2. I

Re: NanoVNA for CB radio tuning
So glad I posted on here before I even got the NanoVNA. I was definitely going to try and run it in-line like a SWR meter as seen in videos and such, but now will not. : ) Many thanks to you all for

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
I calibrated my NanoVNA to the same frequency range as you. Then connected CH0 to CH1. Here are the plots of S21 and S11. My S21 is flat like yours but your S11 does not seem that good. This might be

Well, there is a WARNING before you start burning things: Contrary to a SWR meter, the nanoVNA can not be used with the transmitter and cannot be left online while using the radio, as a SWR meter is

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
As mentioned above I wound a 2 to 5 ratio on a BN-73-202 core and terminated the secondary in 330 ohms - this appears to show a pretty good match. The return loss is below -30dB at 7.15MHz and the

Herb, I've been waiting for the V2 since I read the outlined specification in fall. My main interests are in 20m, 2m, 70cm bands and I'd like to be able to probe 1.575GHz as well, hence my wait for a

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
The reason I removed a bit of a turn (and then called it half a turn) was this seemed to make a better match. Though in reply #11793 I accidentally called it 'one turn' when I meant 'half a turn',
