Re: Proper way to measure cable length
In an older publication of QST there was a TDR project. I made it and it works quite well for measuring electrical length of a coax and from that you can calculate the velocity actor. If you can find

Re: PC Won't Recognize Unit in DFU Mode so Can't Update Firmware
I too was having the same problem of my NanoVNA-H not being recognized by DfuSe Demo. However, I tried ST's STM32CubeProgrammer. It was able to recognize the DFU device, and I could upgrade the

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Try 0.66 and measure a piece of the same cable with a ruler and the VNA. Adjust VF until the two agree. If you can see the dielectric, use the VF for another cable with the same dielectric. Glenn --

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
How many answers need to be posted about this? I posted a link that gives the info for the most common materials used, including foam polyethylene and foam polystyrene. Zack W9SZ

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Most *solid dielectric* cables are close to 0.66 Foam dielectric tends to be faster (because the Vprop is related to the permittivity of the dielectric, and foam is lower than solid)

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
You have no way to know, unless you make another measurement to compare physical and electrical length.

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Not that there can¡¯t be reasons for doing this (buying x feet of new coax to replace it with), but if you state the reason for wanting this measurement, maybe there¡¯s a different way to solve the

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Look at the end of the cable. If the insulation between the outer shield and center conductor is a hard and solid material the velocity factor will probably be 0.66. If this insulation is a soft foam

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
You can only get a coarse idea of the length if you don't know the velocity factor. If you set the velocity factor to 1 (100%), you will get the electrical length of the cable, which will always be

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
What velocity factor would you use to measure the physical length of a cable when you don't know the cable type? Pat

Re: Is there a known ch0 input protection mod? #problem #nanovna
Definitely not TVS because it can prevent RF overdrive according to the datasheet's "Power output vs. power input" graph. Diode based RF limiters utilize PIN diodes in order to minimize distortion.

Re: Help needed installing new firmware
David, On the early firmware versions you must short the BOOT0 pad to the VDD pad with a jumper at powerup to get into DFU mode. You can remove the jumper once the unit starts up. I think it goes to

Re: Cannot Save screenshots to microSD card
Gene, I find the screen dump to the SD Card is about 300K, S1P and S2P files are between 20-30K, so using the higher number for screen shots, about 50K files can be stored on a 16GB SD Card. I did the
