Re: Anybody happens to know VF of this cable ?
1) use the NanoVNA to sweep and find out where 1/4 wavelength is (i.e. peak in S11 magnitude). Knowing the frequency where it's 1/4 wavelength, you can compare to free space wavelength.
2) Use the

Mike,
W2AEW has an excellent series of videos on how to use the NanoVNA to measure and adjust antennas. I think you will find this one worth

Re: NanoVNA-H not seen by windows11 (no com port)
#nanovna-h
If you can't see the NanoVNA-H as a COM port in Windows 11 after plugging it in that means that the driver is not installed. Windows 11 should install it automatically but sometimes it fails to

Re: Anybody happens to know VF of this cable ?
Very good point about actual VF vs published VF. There are several ways to quickly get the actual VF of the cable using a NanoVNA but the OP ("Anne") doesn't like posts that go beyond specifically

Sorry, it was the USB-cable. Should have used the one included.

Ok now, is there a easy way to figure out the resonance of the antenna?
I'm useing a different whip and ground plane so the factory (height) on the coil is going to be off so I'm wondering if there is

Sorry, didn't read your post correctly. Make sure you save the calibration, Then look on the left of the display to make sure you recall the saved calibration.

Far right is very high resistance, far left is very low resistance. Your open calibration looks good!

Re: Anybody happens to know VF of this cable ?
Now something to remember,
The VF can be FAR from that spec.
I have seen Brand New cables that were different THAN THE SPECIFIED VALUE.
And as cables age, and it seems this stuff is OLD, that it

Yes, well, the point was to have the OP go the last mile to get the information by following the archive link and maybe learn a thing or two in the process. This probably comes from having a mother

Use the Smith Chart display and make sure that the trace is set to S11
And you (very confusingly) need to connect to and calibrate port 0 for S11 measurements. Port 1 (normally 2) is the return
