Re: how good is a rain gutter antenna
In this case, Dave, it's highly likely the gutter system will have much more loss than the transformer. A gutter can be a reasonable antenna if all of the joints have good RF connections-but that

Re: how good is a rain gutter antenna
I also live in an apartment complex. One of my antennas is a rain gutter, about 50 ft horizontal and it includes the downspouts. Inside my apartment is a 10-meter-long counterpoise along the wall. I

I always do this. Never had any problem, but at least I checked to make sure. Zack W9SZ [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
Inadvertently I had done just that, because in using the VNA for the first time for real, tuning the ATU for 40m on the G5RV antenna, I was getting unbelievably perfect results because the MFJ969

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
After completing a cal, it's always a good practice to go back and verify that your OSL actually displays as an OSL. Dave - W?LEV [email protected]> wrote:

Re: how good is a rain gutter antenna
With the maximum SWR ¡À 2.5 : 1, you must have a lot of loss in the system. Likely due to that crazy 9:1 transformer. You have a NANOVNA, so measure the through loss of that transformer. I'd suggest

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
Stan, thank-you for your input. As it happens, from the timing of your post I was actually at the same time watching the W2AEW youtube video on calibration where he demonstrated the Correction switch

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
Oh, and the 'correction' option in the menu is in -newer- nanovna firmware, so if your friends doesn't have it, he doesn't have the latest firmware. So yes, this was a valid question to ask, since

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
Gareth, This option is simply a switch that turns the calibration on and off. When it is checked, it is on. But the main status is at the left side of the display, along the center-left edge. If

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
OK, thanks for that reference, but how do I know whether or not the correction is being applied? Is there a status flag? ie, after doing a calibration, do I leave the Correction option alone or

Re: Apologies if flogging a dead horse! CAL Correction?
Basically it toggles your calibration off and uses the base cal in the unit. /g/nanovna-users/topic/53015012?20,2,0,0

Re: nano vna h black screen
You must use only the upgrade/verify portion of dfusedemo. If you first used the upload function, you overwrote your firmware file with the content of the nanovna, trashing it before you used it for
