Re: New NanoVNA possibly malfunctioning?
Thanks, Larry, that's a nicely written guide.? I didn't know of it and used the nanovna.com web page and some of Alan w2aew's well made videos.? I use RF test equipment nearly daily as part of my

Re: New NanoVNA possibly malfunctioning?
Mike, The Config menu has a system reset (Clear config) in the Expert Settings.? You might want to try that then go through the cal process again.? If this is the first time you're using a Nanovna,

Re: Using NanoVNA to measure receive antenna port impedance #measurement
You cannot just put an arbitrarily-large attenuation after a VNA port and expect reasonable results. Roger Need's suggestion of 20dB is about as high as I would go; keep in mind that the round-trip

Thanks, Larry.? I did go through the steps you described.? (You can even see in the screenshot from before that I had recalled settings 6.)? After dinner, to be sure, though, I ran through the

Re: Using NanoVNA to measure receive antenna port impedance #measurement
You'd measure it (today) with a VNA, making sure that you pick a drive level that's reasonable for the receiver (i.e. if your receiver input can only tolerate -50dBm, then better not put -10 dBm in).

Re: Using NanoVNA to measure receive antenna port impedance #measurement
Jeff, Yes you can measure the input impedance of an HF receiver with your NanoVNA but you need to be careful you do not overload the front end. The output of the NanoVNA is around 0 dBm which is too

Re: Using NanoVNA to measure receive antenna port impedance #measurement
It should work ok, but make sure your receiver can tolerate the input

Re: New NanoVNA possibly malfunctioning?
Mike, When you calibrated the unit, did you hit the Reset softkey immediately before pressing the Calibrate softkey and then save to a specific memory slot? If you saved to a mem slot other than 0,

Re: Using NanoVNA to measure receive antenna port impedance #measurement
I doubt it, since measuring at the equipment¡¯s antenna port you¡¯re measuring the circuitry inside and there¡¯s no telling what the ¡®results¡¯ will be. But you¡¯ve nailed down how to test

New NanoVNA possibly malfunctioning?
There is a better than even chance that my NanoVNA is fine and I'm the issue.? However, I started playing with my new unit this weekend and did some basic things, swept a little telescoping antenna

Pat, No, there is not link. I was asking for pledges, not actual funds at this time, just so I could gauge whether we could meet the expense by small amounts of funding from various members. Thanks.
