Would like to buy NanoVNA
#nanovna-matlab
First of all apologize if I'm repeating the same question. But I browsed many messages to see howto buy, but lost in topics.
I would like to buy Hugen version but could not able to manage buying from Tabao site. Then I found a product in Aliexpress claiming @Hugen version in description. But I need to make sure it is real Hugen version If Hugen can see my message here I can pay via Paypal or Payoneer directly and send my postal address or can get it from Aliexpress if he has official sales in there. -- Regards, Erhan, TA1LSX, 73 |

Thanks Rune. I did not understand the relationship between devicecals and nvna-s cals. up the cables and do a device cal over that frequency range using an appropriate cal kit. I save that cal to say C0. same frequency range, same cables, same cal kit and save it to cal_0.cal. nvna-s with as many data points as I like using multiple segments. Yes Let's say I then want to measure a UHF filter over the range 100MHzto 900MHz. Obviously I cannot use C0 and cal_0.cal. So I set up with different cables and a different cal kit. I do a device cal over that frequency range and save it to C1. No. According to my understanding from Rune. On connection nvna-s reads cal data from Memory 0 only, so unless your calibration originally covered the whole of the frequency range and was saved to C0 then as far as I understand that would not work. With C1 selected on the device, I repeat the cal on nvna-s using thesame frequency range, same cables, same cal kit and save it to cal_1.cal.. nvna-s with as many data points as I like using multiple segments and save the results to s*p files. range, say 400 to 500MHz? to 200MHz? not.) I would say that unless you make a full span course cal and use that from C0 then you would need to save manual cals for the other ranges and store them in C1..C3 and copy them to C0 before disconnecting from the nvna and reconnecting to pick up each new cal from C0. Maybe Rune can clarify whether or not I have misunderstood his comments in Barry G4MKT |
Re: Wait for NanoVNA-V2.....
Do you remember those huge Fresnel lenses that used to be sold so you could 'enlarge' your 14" TV to 30" or more??
?Maybe someone should design a 3d printed housing for the NanoVNA with a Fresnel lens over display ?

Re: Wait for NanoVNA-V2.....
Herb,
The slightly larger display that Herman installed is identical to the 2.8" it just has bigger pixels. The resolution and driver IC are the same as in the 2.8" LCD. Hence the direct swap.?

Re: Wait for NanoVNA-V2.....
I recently replaced my display with a 3.2 version that works with the same software (see the Wiki Files). Replacement with an even larger display is not possible without rewriting the firmware. And currently almost all memory space is used, I see that does not happen immediately. So I'm also waiting for the V2 version, and hope for a larger display.

Re: Duplexfilter tuning question
Yes, I checked it when I came home, I use different modes.
But, the attenuators are on the way, so I can test more deep then now is possible. What a nice software, that's what I mean, with this software I can tune more accurate. Nice things to study and learn! Thanks for the link QRP RX! |
Re: coax fatigue
#test-jig
All network analyzers that I have worked on (repaired, calibrated and use nearly every work day) since 1977 (8409, 8505, 8753, 8510.......) have the test ports connected to and thru the same front panel (built in or on the S-parameter test set). I see absolutely no reason to isolate them on the nano. I have not used the isolation part of the cal yet but isn't that the reason for doing isolation?
I thought about mounting my unit in an enclosed box as well but I had this old HP radar test set with everything right there and ready to go plus I do every thing at HF and have not seen any leakage problems there. K6JCA's set up looks nice but I again I see no reason to separate the connectors. It might even lead to cross talk when doing S21 creating a ground path loop. Last night, after finally getting a second HF antenna lashed up before the winter snows, I checked the isolation between the two antennas using S21 for the first time (except for a quick functional check when I rec'd the nano in late August). On 40 meters there is only 20 dB of isolation and on 20 meters and 160 meters there is about 29 dB of isolation. For each band I retuned the transmatch on the one antenna that needs a transmatch. When I de-tuned the transmatch even by a small change, the coupling dramatically decreased showing the impedance match was critical for max radiation from one antenna into the other. |
Re: My NanoVNA is not recognised by DFUse when using V 0.2.3 firmware
reports "you have the latest version"Zadig software simply ignores such misleading messages to install the >>correct<< driver, namely: right-click on DfuSeDemo icon, select "Open file location" * start in the Bin folder that has DfuSeDemo.exe * nanoVNA wants driver in that Driver folder You can right-click on the device, select "Update Driver Software" * "Browse my computer for driver software" * browse to the location above for your Windows version |
Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.1.5
Hello Rune,
Unfortunately, quartz filters have a ripple. In the Attachment the plot of an IF quartz filter. One possibility might be to select rising and falling edges. Otherwise, I currently have no solution. Viele Gr????e Hans-Peter Prast, DL2KHP ========================================= Hans-Peter, yes, I appreciate the ripple issue. Perhaps one approach might be to scan for Fmax, Smax and then approach upwards from a low frequency until Smax - 3 dB is reached, and then approach downwards from a high frequency until Smax - 3 dB is reached. I've not programmed that, though, just a suggestion. 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: Email: david-taylor@... Twitter: @gm8arv |

Also I do not use the "jog" switch.
I drag and drop the markers / and use all menu's by the touch screen. I also use a simple and very cheap PDA stylus. It makes life very easy and simple. 73 de Andy |
