Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
I used heat shrink, colors like my earlier VNA
Black for short
Green go 50 ohm
Clear for open.
Wanted purple for 75 but didn't find any yet.

Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
I would say that if you calibrated with the connector saver on you should be good to go. Just as long as the connector saver is of decent quality.

Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
I second Joe's (K1IKE) recommendation of using a "connector saver". I just realized I had a couple of them in my connector box so they will be installed immediately.
The major part of my career was in

Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
Joe,
At least on the three NanoVNA-H's and one NanoVNA-H4 I have, the standards do have rotating nuts. There was no easy way provided to prevent the centers from rotating, however. I cut a

Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
That depends on where you got them. The ones supplied with
Hugens H4 rotate and the ones I got with a clone before that one
also rotate.
This is true for standard SMA connectors, but the

Hello Gyula and all,
This is true for standard SMA connectors, but the short/open/load tools supplied with the NanoVNA do not have separate rotating collars on them. The 3 devices are one solid piece

Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
Hi Roger,
It is unfortunate to blend silicone tube and SMA in this way.
Because the fixing nut, which should rotate, cannot rotate, but forces the fixed to remain with the middle mandrel and move

Re: Data Corrupt Error
Did you set the number of points to 101 under the sweep settings on the nanoVNA? Version 3.9 is known to have some bugs. Try 3.8

Then let's run to him again. See the latest version of NanoVNA-Saver 0.3.8. screenshot.
There is a program running on your computer that you think is displaying incorrect data.

Interesting what you can find if you look around. Where I work I often get surplus zippered gig bags from microphones and other small items. These work nicely for small portable devices. The one I

Re: Surgical Tubing for SMA connectors
This is a great idea! Three thoughts to contribute:
1) Be careful about installing the tubing in a way that makes you "spin" the SMA connector instead of the SMA nut - to preserve the center pin

And why not? Cut the ends off and you have a nice 4-wire interconnect cable for projects.

Re: Does V2.4 have full two port
V2.4 (V2 plus4) is still two port one path, but overall architecture is redesigned and port 2 return loss is much improved (typically >20dB) so you can get good results reversing the DUT and using two

Re: Does V2.4 have full two port
Thanks for your reply and interested to see the 6G version coming. However, I think my current concern is about the 4G, iirc, v2.4, does it have one directional ports or support full two ports, i.e.
