Re: Can the NanoVNA be used on 75 ohm cables/ antennas --- Part 2 #75 ohm measurements
For those of you who would like to use the resistive pad to match 75 ohms to the 50 ohm nanovna, the series resistor is 25 x sqrt of 3 (about 43.3 ohms) and the shunt resistor on the 50 ohm side is 50

Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
Other than the name, "ANTENNA TUNER", why is the 'conventional knowledge' so prevalent that the "ANTENNA TUNER" actually "tunes" the antenna. *IT DOES N O T !!!!!* It functions ONLY AS A MATCHING

I assume the book you are referring to is "Antennas" by John D Kraus. Jim mentioned it here: /g/nanovna-users/message/16645 FIrst edition printed in 1950, second edition (with Ronald

Re: NanoVNA-H: bettering the post-mixer IF filter?
No, I mean to create a parallel LC-circuit: the inductor will be parallel to the series connection of the C32 and C33 (tapped to the ground in their middle but this does not matter). That LC-circuit

Re: NanoVNA-H: bettering the post-mixer IF filter?
So you'd make a Rseries L series, C shunt, low pass configuration? I think that won't have the effect you expect. Don't forget that those inductors have a fair amount of resistance, too. In any case,

Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
Jim, Then Miro's question remains: What happens to power reflected back from the antenna feedpoint if there is no antenna tuner? Without a tuner, it is not all getting sent back out to the antenna.

Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
Only if the transmitter has some sort of isolator (in a logical sense) to push the reflected power to a load, and that's pretty rare in a HF transmitter. What really happens is that the transmitter is

Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
Not necessarily - for small mismatches, the tuner, even at the end of a transmission line with 10% loss (1/2 dB) makes it so you don't have to go out and keep readjusting an antenna that's narrow

NanoVNA-H: bettering the post-mixer IF filter?
Hello! Would you recommend an LC-circuit as an IF filter? I'm looking into using one of [url=https://static.chipdip.ru/lib/261/DOC005261729.pdf]these[/url] SMD inductors (~hundreds of ¦ÌH) as a coil.

Re: O S L on antenna side of a balun / choke with stud terminals?
Antenna tuners cause any energy reflected from the antenna to turn around and head back out to the antenna again. So if the antenna is reflecting 1/4 of the energy back to the antenna tuner, after 2.5

So, based on what Dave and Jerry are pointing out, I have two VALID conclusions 1) Antenna tuners suck! They make t-line/antenna go gently on TX, but they hide what's behind them. Strive to have (at
