Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Well, yes, but the OP didn¡¯t specify exactly what he wanted to do, so we¡¯re left guessing. Does he want to measure the physical length of a cable that¡¯s already installed, so he can order a

Re: NanoVNA for the Blind?
Hi Austin. I will contact you directly to help you get going. In that process we can update the documentation so that it is completely descriptive and then report back to this group. My goal is to

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
I have reentered this group after a long absence to see what's happening now. Measuring the cable length comes down to measuring the Velocity Factor (VF) first. The simple and basic way to go is take

Re: PC Won't Recognize Unit in DFU Mode so Can't Update Firmware
Generally I would say, if the nano is showing up on a com port when it is connected either it isn't actually in DFU mode.If it is an old model setting dfu mode is accomplished by shorting an internal

Re: NanoVNA for the Blind?
I thought of something. If I buy a NanoVNA, will I require sighted help to get it up and running to the point where I can use the web interface? Or do I just need to connect it up and start the

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
In my firmware exist option Measure->Cable User need select correct frequency range (minimum/maximim frequency depend from cable length on smitch chart must rotate by 180 degree) As can see in this

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
For an example, it is extremely helpful when troubleshooting a transmission line fault. I have an Anritsu Sitemaster that I use to do DTF (Distance to Fault) tests. I can locate a problem, usually

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
I can give a practical use - you have a box of cable (whether Cat 5 or coax or HV neon wire) where it's not obvious how much is in the box (since you didn't buy the stuff with "foot markings" on the

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Dear all, Could someone answer this:- Why is there this obsession to electrically measure the physical length of an arbitrary length of coax? Unless you are trying to make a long distance physical

See also a couple of videos from Alan W2AEW on this subject, including a simple TDR circuit which I have built and works adequately for my needs. Chris G4CWS

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Kind of circling back around to *this* question. You've got a spool or coil of coax sitting in front of you.? How do you measure the physical length without actually unspooling or measuring the spool

Re: Proper way to measure cable length
Sounds intriguing, do you have more details, or maybe a pointer to the QST project? If you made your boards with OSHpark, you can designate them as public, so anyone can order them. Not sure if other
