Re: Definition of resonance
Thank you! That is good to know. Forgive me, but as old school and 73 years 'wise', I much prefer a hard copy. Dave - W?LEV -- *Dave - W?LEV* *Just Let Darwin Work*

Dave: I may be mistaken, but I believe Jasik, Balanis and Krause are all available (in various additions) from internet sources. Ed McCann AG6CX

Re: Inexpensive source for RG-58 50 ohm coax, SMA connectors and/or preassembled?
My NanoVNA came with something more like 0.1" coax (RG-174 type or something). Multitude of suppliers from companies you've never heard of. If you want more consistency, maybe try L-com

MPD Digital has an online custom cable assembly builder. They make cable assemblies for NASA so it's good enough for me. https://usacoax.com/custom.html Dave-KB1PVH Sent from my Galaxy S9

I bought these: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dUxfrOB https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dURWBgb I cut the second one to verify that it is a real PTFE coax and it checks out. Get a bit longer

Tonnes of options on amazon. You can also try Universal radio, The Main Trading company, Gigaparts, pacParts. You can buy 50 feet of RG58 on amazon for like $20. It usually has pl259 connecters so you

Re: Inexpensive source for RG-58 50 ohm coax, SMA connectors and/or preassembled?
"Cheap" RF cables breed nothing but problems. One might get away with "cheap" RG-58 cables at HF, but NOT above 30 mhz!!!!! Don't tempt problems!!!!!! Dave - W?LEV -- *Dave - W?LEV* *Just Let

Inexpensive source for RG-58 50 ohm coax, SMA connectors and/or preassembled?
Can anyone tell me a source for inexpensive source for RG-58 50 ohm coax cable and/or for preassembled RG-58 with an SMA male termination on one or both ends, basically like that shipped with the

Re: Definition of resonance
Yep! "The antenna tuner really does tune the antenna to resonance, in spite of opinions to the contrary of those who are unaware of the principles of conjugate matching. The tuner obtains a match,

Re: Definition of resonance
You can see the thermal noise from a human body, as long as it's against cold sky. (300K vs 20-30K Tsys) You can also tell if it's overcast vs clear.

Re: Definition of resonance
I suspect that a good Ku-band satellite receiver could easily detect RF radiation from a car radiator at normal operating temperature. Dana

Re: TDR Measurement
My experience of a "proper" TDR was demonstrated to me at an HF site where the TDR on an open-wire feedline showed the ceramic spacers and supports at regular intervals, and any breakdown that had

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

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

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

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
