Larry, Hugen posted a chart a few hours ago showing the results of a new PCB with some of the recent improvements installed (see attachment). S11 looks to be <= 40 dB to 1500 MHz and S21 dynamic range

Re: SWR...Nano versus Transmitting
Thanks. I'm using a cross-needle meter without any tuner, so I'm matching the same antenna as measured with the Nano.

Re: SWR...Nano versus Transmitting
Good afternoon! Depending on how everything in your rig is connected and/or grounded, switching from a rig that is connected to the powerline ground to the NanoVNA that is floating could change things

Re: NanoVna-Saver TDR

Rune, extend the s11 with the the complex conjugate of the s11 as input to the fft Then you can use only the real values as impulse response with the sign being correct. All imag values will be zero

NanoVna-Saver TDR
#tdr
Rune, I think that the TDR function is missing a trick in computing the observed impedance along a line. It looks like you are integrating the return impulses to get the impedance values, but ignoring

Re: Performance of 1:1 Balun
I did measure both with another vna. Ch1 is indeed worse but I found both to be closer to 50 ohm. Currently traveling so don't access to the exact numbers Next to the resistance difference ch1 has a

Re: SWR...Nano versus Transmitting
Hi Ron If it is the SWR indication build into your radio you are referring to, and your radio has an internal antenna tuner (or I would rather call it a impedance matching network), then the radio is

Re: SWR...Nano versus Transmitting
What are you using to measure VSWR while transmitting. If you use a meter that simply changes scales with no re-normalization for any specific power, they are quite prone to read improperly when less

This is my first post after lurking since October, so I'm quite new to the Nanovna. The Nanovna measurements of SWR are considerably lower than what I'm seeing when I transmit on-the-air. What does
