Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
Hi, The scale is neither linear nor logarithmic, and I¡¯m not sure what it is. Luckily it does not matter if you just want to use the smith chart. Generally for radio work the centre is defined as 50

Re: Another off-topic about Smith chart
Not a math wiz here but one of the best ways I learned about the chart back in college was to see the mathematical calculations (and thus derivations) for the actual circles. The smith chart has

Another off-topic about Smith chart
An off - topic question to any math wiz knowledgeable about Smith chart. There are oodles of stuff about Smith chart, but I have not be able to find WHAT is the actual scale of the coordinates. For

#nanovna-saver
Newer FW versions add functionality and/or correct errors. Any FW version from the beginning of 2020 will do and they are easy to flash into the device.

? nanovna-saver best fw ?
#nanovna-saver
Hi everyone, From all the firmware versions for the nanovna-H (original) what firmware do you recomend to take the most from the nanovna-saver? Or, is the nanovna-saver agnostic to fw version? Cheers

Re: Check impedance of an unknown coaxial cable
Howdy Pablo! This virus should has thrown the world into turmoil... I hope it turns out to be a minor virus, not as bad as the flu. As far as coax for antenna for an H/T, I would assume around 145 MHz

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
Hi Roger, Thanks for this, your results look very similar to mine, there is a slight difference in the frequency of the dips but I assume this is due to differences in the mix of the core material,

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
Kerr, I wound two 1T to 8T impedance transformers using BN73-202 binocular cores and insulated, solid, silver-plated wire-wrap wire. They were connected back to back and the 1T sides soldered to SMA

Re: Check impedance of an unknown coaxial cable
Pablo you can also take a look at this video that is very detailed on how to determine the impedance and velocity factor of any unknow coax cable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpIIftvQPFM

Re: Check impedance of an unknown coaxial cable
Saludos Pablo, You could use the TDR function of the NanoVNA to check the impedance of an unknown coax cable by soldering a non-inductive variable resistor (value within the range of the suspected

50 or 75¦¸, it shouldn't make a big difference unless you are wanting to push high power through it.
