Re: Save Trace Style and Channel?
Chris, The only time you should use the Reset button in the Calibration menu is immediately prior to performing a calibration. Reset clears calibration entries in RAM so if you use it immediately

Re: Save Trace Style and Channel?
Looks like it is saved in the calibration settings not in the configuration settings.? That is what I had wrong.? Also, I want to confirm that you have to reset a channel before you save to it.?

Re: Measuring a 1/4 wave balanced line

It occurs to me that it might be easier to characterize a longer piece of line (which allows one to work at lower frequencies and have fewer capacitance problems) and then cut the desired

I absolutely agree I was talking about ideal lines... and ideal VNAs. One must always take these things into account. Thanks for keeping me honest....

Re: Save Trace Style and Channel?
Hi Chris, Please let us know the model/version of Nano you have and the version of firmware from the Config>Version screen. What you're doing should work as that is how I configure my unit. Thanks

Save Trace Style and Channel?
I want to save Trace 3 to do SWR instead of phase. Even though I save it in a profile and the general settings. It always pops back to phase. How do I make these changes permanent? Also, when I want

Re: Measuring a 1/4 wave balanced line

Ward, What you say is true for theoretical transmission lines with no attenuation. A physical TL has attenuation and you don't get exactly 0 ohms at the end of a open 1/4 wavelength transmission line

or open.? Either way, you get mag s11 = 1 when it's a 1/2 wavelength long. However, the OP wanted 1/4 wavelength. So you could use the fact that 1/4 wave transforms the impedance at the far end. So

Re: Measuring a 1/4 wave balanced line

To measure 1/2 wave you could simply short the far end. Sweep the frequency. When s11 is -1 (impedance is zero) you're at the 1/2 wavelength frequency (or a multiple thereof, start the sweep very

The answer to your question is that you need to do several things in order to accurately determine the length of a 1/4 wave length of balanced 450 ohm ladderline for operation at 2M (144 MHz.). 1. You

There were a lot of interesting answers to other questions, but the question I had was whether to use or not to use a balun, which roncraig1 did address. Thank you roncraig1.
