Re: Will the nanoVNA-H4 do a TDR function
I was wondering about that..... cause I didn't think the H4 was a lot of $$$$ for what it is. So your <SHIFT> finger lags behind your <4> finger? ME TOO!!!!!

Re: Smith Charts showing Reflection Coefficient and SWR
Barry, you are correct in visualizing the SWR circles. You can show SWR and Q plots on the smith chart and compare them to what you measure with the VNA.
I need to run now, but here is an example of

Smith chart - admittance scale ?
Do any NanoVNA firmware or software versions support display of the Smith chart Admittance scale ?
If not, is anyone prepared to add it ?
It's useful to have for antenna matching problems.

Re: Will the nanoVNA-H4 do a TDR function
Either the H4 or the VNA-F with the latest firmware are capable of TDR
functional, it is called transform in the menu selection.

nVNA purchase
I allready have a nVNA-H and I'm considering buying a second one. It seems to me that it is a new generation coming up (nVNA-2) and I wonder if anyone can tell me how far away it is.

Thanks to Tipp and Dough !
But I'm still a bit confused. My nVNA is a nVNA-H. Version: 0.4.5-1-gfbbceca. It does not work with the Getscreen dump software

Hi Fred,
Yes, the H$ will do this. Alan Wolke (W2AEW) has a very informative youtube video on how to do this:

Will the nanoVNA-H4 do a TDR function
This is just a curious question. I can't seem to find any advertising that
states this. If it does not is there one of the 4" display models that
will do a TDR function?
Thanks

Re: Using the nanovna up high (how to avoid dropping it)
If you use an aftermarket case you can drill a hole to run the lanyard attach through as shown in one pic.
Or you could attach the lanyard behind a connector on the SMA port also shown

Re: Smith Charts showing Reflection Coefficient and SWR
Return Loss, as I know and use it, has always been a negative quantity. Mainly because it is a level returned which is less than the reference used to generate the return signal. Perhaps more subtly,
