Re: Measurement EFHWA
======== That is wrong. 21/3 = 7, so the impedance transformation ratio is 7 x 7 = 49, i.e. 49:1 To have a 64:1 impedance transformer you need a 8:1 turns ratio, in other words, e.g., 3T primary and

Re: Coax choke/balun
A common mode choke made by wrapping coax feeder through a toroid is directly equivalent to a 1:1 Guanella "balun". The term balun is in quotes because, although coaxial cable is clearly an unbalanced

You can set the property (type of value) displayed by each of the 4 traces. Touch "MENU" , touch "TRACE", touch whichever color/channel you want to show the ' the impedance real and imaginary 'j on,

Re: Saving Measurement from antenna
The Android NanoVNA app also works with my old 2.8 inch "not-H4" early clone that I bought in October, 2018 (if I remember correctly). That was about 6 months after NanoVNAs became available. It would

Coax choke/balun
I have seen desktop antenna/coax assemblies (such as for an SDR) that take the (thin) coax cable and wrap it around a small toroid about 3 or 4 times, close to the antenna. I understand this is to

Re: Measurement EFHWA
Hey Pete, Indeed it is a 1:49 after all... I didn't catch that when I posted. My EFHW started out as 3/24 turns (1:8) or a 1:64... but after measuring with the NanoVNA I ended up removing 3 turns. I

Re: NanoVNA Function-Oriented Cheat Sheet
This video by Alan on the NanoVNA is a great intro. It gets a little technical for the uninitiated but definitely worth the time of watching it several times.

Re: Measurement EFHWA
Jim, Do you want to measure the impedance looking into the end fed wire itself? A 67 ft long wire from 12 inches above ground straight to a tree at about a 70 degree angle comes in about 3700 to 3900

The touch screen is resistive. You can use a stylus with a hard rounded tip like those used with the old Palm Pilot PDAs. Some forum members used Q-tips.
