Thanks, Herb! Crystals are one of my interests. I tried running it with Python2.x and 3.x, it apparently requires Python3.7. Haven't tried actually measuring a crystal with it yet, but this works,

Re: NooElec 1:9 balun

When you replace a 50 ohm resistor load with the RG-316 cable connected to the nanoVNA you no longer have a 50 ohm resistive load. This is due to two factors: - RG-316 cable is only specified as a

Touchstone is a file format that provides a standardized way for programs to output S parameters (S11, S21) so they can be read by other programs. The extension can be .s1p, .s2p etc. There are many
