Re: NanoVNA used on plate chokes ?
While it is true, no calibration is required to see the resonate points of the plate choke. You will see in the log magnitude sweep the ¡°dips¡± at particular frequencies. However, you have no

Re: NanoVNA used on plate chokes ?
Actually looking for resonances on a plate choke doesn't even "require" calibration. Since you're only looking for the frequencies of resonances, no cal. is required. Treat it like you would a grid

NanoVNA used on plate chokes ?
I looked at W8JI's page on plate chokes..... and trying to figure out how he does the test cables and general setup for testing plate chokes...esp to arrive at RP values across 160-10m..and also Q,

calibration with long cables
It would be a good practice that if you're using a long cable, the calibration frequency step size should be small enough that you don't get a phase wrap between steps. It's like FFT based TDR. That

Re: New user - which Version to use?
Why do you think that your new NanoVNA needs a firmware upgrade? If you purchase a known version, there should be no reason that a new device should immediately need a firmware upgrade. After you have

For SnP (Touchstone, S1P, S2P, etc.) files it's easy, because the values are space delimited. What's *not* easy is that most of the libraries won't do it for you. You have to parse the data fields,

Some software is localized, and when you put out a number, by default it uses comma as the "decimal point". In particular the various MS Visual whatevers can do this for dialogs. What's sort of

Did you change the frequencies in the cal file, or the actual calibration data, keeping the frequencies the same? In general, yes, there's likely some interpolation function.

Re: S-Band NanoVNA - SMA Connector Care
Well, they're typically rated at 500 mate/demate cycles, which is a lot, compared to some of those tiny "snap on" connector which are more like 5-10 cycles. And that spec is more like a "what it's
