Re: NanoVNA vs. MFJ-259B Antenna Analyzer
Sorry, you had a bad experience. I found my NanoVAN useful. Before I purchased mine I made sure it was a good clone of the original NanoVNA. Plus, the unit I purchased was the same one that another

Re: TDR Measurement
I am finding that watching YouTube videos on the NanoVNA over and over again it is starting to sink in how to use the many features. Just take time to read and re read the instructions and watch and

Re: NanoVNA vs. MFJ-259B Antenna Analyzer
Well actually the difference between 'dumb' and 'normal' isn't that great.? All you need is an Elmer to show you the ropes.? Maybe even show you twice.? Then you will probably get excited and learn

Re: NanoVNA vs. MFJ-259B Antenna Analyzer
I would like to see somebody make a "DUMB MODE: for the NanoVNA, and THEN it will really hurt the sales of MFJ analyzers. The "DUMMY" mode would be for peole like me, who are "dummy's"!!! ;-))) It

Re: TDR Measurement
If you want a TDR, there's nothing like a proper TDR. I have a Tektronix 7904 with the 7S12 plugins (25ps resolution), but it's fragile and I don't use it much. You can measure the impedance of

Re: Definition of resonance
There's a few things going on, but at a very low height (and the asymmetry) you would be experiencing substantial CM currents. This makes the coax part of the antenna, thus its length, and also since

Nuts, I can't resist just one more: 35: a 1:1 SWR represents a resonant antenna, and, therefore, a highly efficient radiator wrote:

Re: What is the resonate frequency of this?
Hi all, I decided to make up this circuit and test it on my NanoVNA. With just the L and C, the circuit showed resonance at 9.2 MHz. With R=sqrt(L/C) inserted in series with both L and C I scanned

Woo-doo (sic?) electronics 1. antenna tuner tunes the antenna 2. more radials on vertical (1/4 wavelength) antenna is better 3. end fed antenna needs counterpoise 4. no need for balum on coax fed
