Re: Tuning a Firestick NGP antenna
Its a proprietary cable and not just something like a make shift sleeve dipole. The shield isn't connected at the antenna side. Maybe it's somehow a J-pole using the coax?? I fail to understand

Re: Tuning a Firestick NGP antenna
Sure sounds like the length of coax is part of the antenna matching.Especially true for an antenna without radials or a ground plane. So that extra length of coax between the radio and the SWR

Tuning a Firestick NGP antenna
I have a Firestick No Ground Plane antenna on order that I'm going to install for a friend. Reading through the reviews there are comments that you cannot use an external SWR meter to tune it. That

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
Dave, You're onto something, but to match 25 ohms to 50 ohms you need 1/4 wavelength (electrical length) of 37 ohm (not 75 ohm) coax. This is easily achieved with two 75 ohm coaxes in parallel. I've

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
Back to your question: no, you can't just turn around a 2:1 balun - that is, unless you re-wire it. If it is in a box that is easy to get to the internals, you may be able to flip the coil around -

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
One thought would be to use a 1/4 wavelength of RG59 for example at the frequency your dipole is cut for. I did not notice that reference in your original message. This should perform the proper

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
I use 1:2 transformers on all bands in my stackmatches similar to this one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/266831127121?srsltid=AfmBOooImSZ0y4ti-tVjjI7S-aKbKLn1DY4_1VuzjulCvvymePiyeIPa I use it also on my

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
40m and 20m. Anything else is a gift. Right now, system is: 1/2 wave Dp antenna to about 40ft of RG58 coax to 15T coax wound CMC on a 4" PVC form to ATU10 to rig (SDR QRP for now, eventual 200w).

Could someone get the default color dump with the hex codes of the TinySA Ultra for me. I have done the upgrade, but something went wrong with the colors. The background is white, the spectrum line is

Hi , The NanoVNA-App SD Card function can works with the LiteVNA64 ? Lite VNA64 FW : v1.3.31 NanoVNA-App : v1.1.216 Thanks in advance Best regards Maurizio IZ1MDJ

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
Bill, Single band or multi? Because the 1:2 transformer (also use a ferrite choke) only matches the feed point essentially on one band (there will likely be some higher-order sorta-matches in there,

Re: Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
Greetings. I had a 40 meter dipole at 12' above ground with fair ground conductivity and had a feed point Z of 22 ohms and very little reactive component. I went to Balun Designs and bought a balun

Dipole antenna with Low Z0 feed point Impedance
Using a VNA to measure dipole antenna feed point characteristics has been discussed. I believe this is a little different twist. I have an attic mounted 1/2 wave dipole antenna with a 20-25 ohm Z0 at

Re: Measure transformers, inductors and trap filters
Gervais: I have good news--- I've had similar difficulties getting to understand what to do with my NanoVNA-H4. I came upon a very informative book that I bought on Amazon to read on my Kindle app in

Re: Measure transformers, inductors and trap filters
I should note that the idea for this came from Kurt Poulsen in the VNWA group.

Re: Measure transformers, inductors and trap filters
Here is another fixture idea. The connectors are Pomona BNC female #2451 and the contacts are a Phoenix Contact #1190363. In the photos the "short" is installed. You can see that there is an easy

Re: down to two HF antennas
Because noise is pickup by the braid of your coax.

Re: down to two HF antennas
Hi Barry, Did you tried to place chokes at the transceiver side and one at the feedpoint side ? That would normally solve your noise level issue. Best 73, Ben
