Re: NanoVNA used on plate chokes ?
Here is a 200 uH homemade plate choke. It was fine fro 160 meter - 40 meter where it was parallel resonate. Higher than that, no way. A significant number of resonate loops. Quite problematic. This

Re: S-Band NanoVNA - SMA Connector Care
G'day Jim, You are quite right of course. When I wrote the reply to Don I had only just finished reading his referenced Keysight/Agilent/HP document. I meant to put in a comment that the document was

Re: NanoVNA used on plate chokes ?
Here is a display for S11 from the vna. Sweep is 1 - 30 MHz, 512 points. A simple SOL cal and then a set of clip leads to the choke. Choke is standing up right on the tube chassis and the rack panel

Re: NanoVNA used on plate chokes ?
I see W8JI has a link on his site for testing plate chokes, inductors and traps. Down the page he shows the VNA setup and SOL connections. https://www.w8ji.com/rf_plate_choke.htm Roger

Re: S-Band NanoVNA - SMA Connector Care
Answer: it depends, but probably not reliably. Some stainless steels are magnetic and some are not; generally for example 300-series stainless steels are non-magnetic while 400-series are. Asking

Re: New user - which Version to use?
no .... best is maybe in the nanovna bata tes group (displord modds faster as manufacturer can do a blink) you maybe will get a unit from the stock and so i is more or less sure that fw is old ....

Yea, there is a corrected version. I biffed it on the Smith Chart - BAD ENGINEER!!!! That's what I get for not proof reading..... Dave - W?LEV

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

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
