Re: FM5324B and FM5401 - NanoVNA-H4 Battery Charger and 5 Volt Converter Circuit
I didn't initially notice Larry's comment that pulling the USB cable extinguishes the Battery LED. My NanoVNA-H4 does not operate that way so maybe the difference is the FM5324B chip. The Battery LED

Re: VNA shootout
If you want to do full two port forward and reverse measurements the VNWA-3SE and LibreVNA supports this feature. The others do not. SDRKits has excellent support and the LibreVNA looks impressive.

Re: VNA shootout
Thanks for the comments, Jim - and for the potential offer. Yes, they nano 2 docs specifically mention that it cannot be used for measuring crystal parameters. I had been looking at a LibreVNA - I

Re: VNA measures other than antenna SWR de k3eui
I may be wrong but those appear to be wirewound resistors. They will act like inductors at RF. To prove this, create a dummy load with just those resistors and measure with the vna and compare with a

Re: VNA shootout
Hi John, This sounds like a really nice idea! I do have a SDR-Kits VNA 3SE, but I won't offer to lend it to you since I am in Sweden. However, I am interested in following the procedures and results
