Re: Question about Measurements in Smith.
X = 2*pi*f*L X? = -1/(2*pi*f*C) If L in nH and f in MHz, then X = 2E-3*pi*f(MHz) * L(nH) if C in pF and f in MHz, then X = 1E6/(2*pi*f(MHz) * C(pF))

Question about Measurements in Smith.
Hi I have always used the Smith's Chart with the standardized values of the R¦¸ +/- jXXX impedance. In the NanoVNA H4 the measurement makes it as R¦¸ + XnH or R¦¸ - XpF. My question is how I can

Re: "Zero calibration" (or "no calibration") question
Very good assessment, Roger. The 269 was designed during days when the PIC was king. While it does a lot of functions, it¡¯s not easy for the end-user to cal. You Kits as a company can¡¯t keep any

Re: Nanovna-H4, looking for a case this will fit in.
I designed and 3D printed a case and sleeve. The design is free to use, copy, modify as you so wish. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5RlbLJ3FPHG

Re: Red LED
Thanks for all the replies. The red light finally went out after charging for another 4.0 hours, so I guess it is fully charged now. Apparently in my unit, "Red" means charging and no LED means "fully

Re: Red LED
Hello Tom, the NanoVNA-H rev3.6 red LED is on to indicate charging and off to indicate charging is complete. The charging current of NanoVNA-H rev3.6 is about 250mA, and it may take 6 hours to fully

The LED should flash red while charging, and stays on steady red when fully charged. 90 min of use may not have discharged it very much. wrote:

You can turn calibration off and it will use no slot. But there *are* variations between units. At least between the two I have.
