Re: 30MHz and below
No, negligible firmware is specific to those constraints.

30MHz and below
Since I am only interested in RF from 30MHz and below, would it be worthwhile to make a firmware that didn't support harmonics and limited the VCO to <30MHz? Thanks

Re: The T-Check confusion
Hi Kurt. Thanks. This is the switch I bought: SIVERS LAB PHILIPS COAXIAL SWITCH 28V DC-18Ghz PM7553 Isolation below 1GHz is better than 80dB so I guess below 300MHz good enough. As I am currently the

Re: The T-Check confusion
Hi Erik Using the transfer switch is just a lazy method to swap the direction of the DUT. Actually dependent of the transfer switch quality you bought you make get poorer isolation between port 1 and

Re: Using the Nano as a receiver?
NanoVNA has receiver, but it cannot digitize receiver output with enough bandwidth to listen AM or SSB radio. You can try to connect your PC soundcard to SA602 outputs and use HDSDR to listen radio,

Re: Using the Nano as a receiver?
Yes, CH1 is a receiver that looks for signals at the frequency (or harmonic) of CH0. Keep in mind that nanoVNA steps, rather than sweeps, so that if set for a wide span will probably miss a narrow

Re: The T-Check confusion
I've found and bought an affordable SMA transfer switch (2x2 switch) on eBay and I was hoping it would allow me to extend nanoVNA or one of my home build VNA's to full two port capability by extending

Using the Nano as a receiver?
Hi, I'm quite new to the topic. I learned a lot about the bad design of commonly available antennas and have modified quite a number since then with the help of the Nano. From what I understand, a VNA

Re: The T-Check confusion
Hi Gabriel You are right it is a matter og software and for that matter firmware. As the NanoVNA is presently it does not have facilities embedded for neither calibration kit data and full 10/12 term

Re: The T-Check confusion
Hi Eric A 10dB att in the Ch1 path will not cure the problem as you also have a (invisible) mismatch in the Ch0 sourse impdance as well. So two attenuator might give some further improvements. But it

Re: The T-Check confusion
Kurt, It appears (in my limited understanding) the poor matching to Z0 of CH1 (port 2) is the biggest reason why the T-check is not performing well on the nanoVNA. Would you agree that using a 10dB
