Re: Can you hear my NanoVNA?
I reiterate, my V2Plus4 puts out ~140 microWatts = 0.140 milliWatts ~= 300mW/2000 ~= 33dB down from 300mW. That's the fundamental. The 3rd harmonic is roughly 15microWatts My MFJ antenna analyzer puts

Re: Can you hear my NanoVNA?
My experience is with 40mw Cw at 28.060, on a minibeam I contacted most of the continental USA using only 4 "AA" batteries during peak solar condx. 8 milliwatts into a gain antenna would probably do

It is possible that the touch screen is being squeezed by the housing, try opening the housing.

Thanks, Jim. Those are the types of off the wall ideas I'm referring to. Kind of the old 'Whack on the Side of the Head' (Roger Von Oech) type of thinking. Great book series by the way.? Cheers,?

That depends on the penetration depth, etc. We used something very similar to the NanoVNA (a few mW output, stepped frequencies over 100 MHz range at 3GHz) to detect human heartbeats and respirations

Re: Can you hear my NanoVNA?
You might see it more easily on a waterfall, just like ionosondes. If you've tuned a narrow band receiver, you might hear a periodic tick as it sweeps past. There are all kinds of monitoring systems

Another waterfall display application would be time history of EM properties of something under test as temperature changes. For instance, a VNA makes an interesting way to measure liquid water

Re: Can you hear my NanoVNA?
My venerable MFJ-259B antenna analyzer puts out ~8mW. I get a 200mV peak to peak square wave out of my V2Plus4 into 50ohm. I believe that corresponds to ~140uW in the fundamental and ~15uW in the 3rd

It would seem to me Randy and Larry that if the nanoVNA were connected to (example) a Log Periodic at 100 feet and the sweep were set from 100khz to 30mhz that it may be impossible -not- to create sky
