Hugen had previously posted the part number in the forum. I think if you search his posts and "LCD" from Nov 2019 through to around Feb 2020, you'll find the post.

Re: Testing a helix antenna?
That could well be the case, when Sandpiper were manufacturing those antennas back in the day, their test equipment was fairly limited. I believe they are better equipped now. -- Regards, Martin -

Re: Testing a helix antenna?
The impedance of a helical antenna is about 140 ohms. To match that to 50 ohms, you can use a quarter wave of transmission line of sqrt(50 * 140) = 84 Ohms. The bending of the conductor near the

Dear Aleatrii, Regarding the group, I was not making a whinge at you, just a general frustration that there are three different groups here covering nanovnas and I try to follow all three. I certainly

WONRP, The current charts are on a new factory ended 100ft length of RG8X now. I also think they must be something wrong with the balun as well since there is not much that could be wrong with the

Re: 50Mhz 3 element Yagi SWR results quite different from NanoVna predictions!
Hi Gunter, I made the measurements in the shack, the antenna was connected to the VNA via 28 meters of RG-213 Coaxial cable. As you suggested I¡¯ll try to make direct measurement directly at the

Re: 75 ohm cable to match 50 ohm to 300 ohm folded dipole
I don't know who you are as you have not identified yourself. But yes but the author did not explain himself. 1.??? Take ONE end of the _electrically half wave-length of 75 ohm coax_ (RG-79 type)

Re: Help reading Antenna plots
Don't overlook the simple stuff. Disconnect the coax from the antenna and use an ohmmeter to check for shorted coax, especially if you are not really confident in your quality of connector assembly.

Re: Testing a helix antenna?
really both. Sure, there's been innumerable variants of helical antennas developed over the years, and there's papers describing them, but the basics are pretty what Kraus figured out in the 40s.

Re: Help reading Antenna plots
True. It's a pretty bad antenna even at HF! When that much loss is shown even in the first plot and progressively measures more and more as you step upward in frequency, the loss is all there is.

The "natural" impedance of a multiturn helix is about 100 ohms. One either does some sort of matching transformer, or, you adjust the spacing of the turn closest to the ground plane to essentially
