Re: Early app for the NanoVNA
Hi Rune -- Yes, I had done a sweep before the "short" calibration, but not the other two. It would be really nice if one could save a calibration to a file, so that he could recall the file on later

Re: How to measure source impedance?
The marketing hype specifically says its the impedance, not the power level. I somewhat doubt any walkie talkie antenna would be damaged by 10 W of power. Certainly, the ones I have seen are just

i believe Google Translate is part of this conversation loop. progress! your transceiver is a Retevis Ailunce HD1 VHF/UHF DMR handheld. you report 3rd party antennas being damaged when used with this

Gentlemen, many thanks for your help. Python is now successfully installed and I can launch Rune's python code. The issue was that Python wasn't on the path (as several suggested). Fixed by checking

Re: How to measure source impedance?
This sounds a combination of 1) Marketing rubbish to get you to use their antennas. 2) Poor engineering The output impedance of this transmitter is likely to be considerably less than 50 ohms. If the

Re: Building the firmware

Re: Building the firmware
Just a couple of thoughts about gcc. Is debugging information saved with -g? That will make the executable larger. Does changing optimisation level (-O, -O2 etc) change the size of the code? Would

Re: Building the firmware
My understanding is that STM32 DFU bootloader is NOT overwritten by download process, so that failures may be restarted/recovered.

Re: How to measure source impedance?
Measuring nonlinear devices (e.g. ferrite cores, diodes and active devices) can be problematic with non-sinusoidal stimulation e.g. nanoVNA. While nanoVNA DSP can sort harmonics, DUT "sees" full

Re: Early app for the NanoVNA
Currently NanoVNA has 4 calibration slots. How about limit sweep count up to 4? *User must calibrate done every 1/4 bandwidth then save 0 to 3 calibration slot. *nanovna-saver loads every 1/4

Re: Early app for the NanoVNA
Does not have NanoVNA or professional lab gears. Also I'm not RF expert too. But... If lots of sweep count, calibrated data still acceptable/trustworthy? ie) 1-800MHz /w 10x => sweep every 1/10

Re: Upgrade MCU from STM32F072C8T6 to STM32F303CCT6
I don't know if the STM32F303 is pin-compatible with the existing chip, but I did check earlier that STM32F104 should be a direct drop-in, and offers slightly more RAM (20kB) and 128kB of flash memory
