Re: Measuring Capacitors
Nothing.. just some places block accesses to various countries, so finding alternate ways to get there is useful.

Re: Jittery , non steady readings
If you have a close-by strong source of RF energy like FM or AM
broadcasters, police, ambulance, CB'ers, hams, ....... any of those and
more could be affecting the readings. This is not all that

Jittery , non steady readings
Is it normal for the readings to fluctuate as much as 2-3 ohms ? As in 11+/-1.5 - j(70+/-1.5)
Dipole NMHA (antenna), balun, calibrated, two ferrites: one at the balun and one at the VNA S11 port. No

Re: NANO VNA H4 , Implausible measurement results?
No, but a guy may have already worked DXCC while you're still arguing about
whether an antenna is good or not. Get on and use it. Play with it later as
needed.

Re: I need help
Yes. Alan is one of the "big boys" and belongs to Tek. Those by amateurs
and others may be highly questionable. At least those are my experiences
with YouToob. For example, addressing ferrites,

Re: I need help
Even a linear wire, not coiled, has some measurable inductance. At zero
length the display on the Smith chart, will show a single value of zero at
the extreme left of the real axis. That point on

You can absolutely trust Alan Wolke W2AEW's videos. He is a Tektronix Field Engineer, I know him personally and knows his stuff 100%.

Re: I need help
Dave,
One doubt about the Smith Chart: Why does the so-called resistive component
change as you move across the tracing? If it was the true electrical
resistance due to the ohmic resistance of the

Re: NANO VNA H4 , Implausible measurement results?
That being said, the aim of a radio amateur is to have a QSO, without
damaging equipment and causing interference (RFI)!
All these - balun, common mode choke, SWR meter and NanoVNA, are aids

Re: I need help
Beware of most YouToob presentations. Those by the "big boys" which offer
their instruments for lots of $$$$ are good and solid. Many of those by
amateurs or "self proclaimed experts" are flawed.

If it works, great. But do not use this as evidence of optimum antenna
performance:-)

All info here is accurate. BUT, to save time, calculate the "electrical"

Re: NANO VNA H4 , Implausible measurement results?
When I started in ham radio, 46 years ago, indeed almost nobody used baluns with dipole antennas. Nowadays instead it's very common to use them, and there are at least two good reasons for this

Re: I need help
If the video on Youtube notes that the impedance should be zero, it is
incorrect. The THRU impedance should be 50 ohms. I just checked on three
NanoVNA's, and they all measure 50 ohms.
