Re: Nanovna white screen USB dead #firmware #nanovna-h4
There are a multitude of forum messages that detail how to flash the DFU file in Linux. It's also mentioned in the various user guides in the forum files area. A quick search of messages using search

glad you've got it sorted. BTW, is there any DFU tool on linux?

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
Thanks to all, many thanks, Now i perfectly understand everything. I will try everything you told me this week end ! And i love the idea of the TV rabit antenna ! Have all a great day !

Re: Pre amp suggested set up
Hi Mike. You will need to construct a bias Tee. A shunt choke to feed supply to the amp on the output port with a series C for a DC block to CH1 of the vna. If there is a DC block internal to the

Pre amp suggested set up
Can someone suggest a setup including isolation caps and chokes to test an HF wideband (1.6 MHZ to 28 MHz) pre amp that is used to match a single vertical 17 feet tall to 75 ohm coax. The preamp is

Re: 450-OHM WINDOW LINE........OR IS IT?
I use 1 uH/meter, which is somewhat larger, but the right general magnitude.? Inductance doesn't vary very quickly with diameter or shape, it's all about length and whether there's coupling from one

Re: 450-OHM WINDOW LINE........OR IS IT?
There is no doubt, today, parallel conductor transmission lines are neglected. It was the first xmsn line we used following the spark days. No doubt coaxial cable is install-and-forget-it, especially

Re: Nanovna white screen USB dead #firmware #nanovna-h4
I just did this (unintentionally!) on my NanoVNA Mk1 and can confirm that the instructions re entering DFU mode in the Windows guide are correct. (I'm using linux.) After the jumper connection is

Re: After upgrading to 0.8 firmware, SWR measurements seem off #firmware
Thanks Gyula! I updated the firmware and cleared the config as you described. That may have been the ticket, but too early to tell just yet. I also have two new firmware to experiment with! Using the

Re: Nanovna white screen USB dead #firmware #nanovna-h4
I did the same thing just a bit ago, but with a different firmware. I was able to shut down the NanoVNA (wait until the light goes out), short the two pins, power back on. The USB bootloader was once

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
I do not think the importance of this can be understated. 50 Ohms has always been a nominal, not exact, goal for system design. The efforts to modify the manufactured tool to get the port impedance to

Re: 450-OHM WINDOW LINE........OR IS IT?
Just something to consider. Think about the shunt C of 6 resistors in parallel. There might be as high as 0.5 pF per resistor. I measured axial lead resistors with my old HP (BRC) 250 RX meter

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
It kind of depends on what you're trying to measure. If you're confirming S11 for the design, then a ground plane works great - you model it over a ground plane, build it, and see if it matches the

Re: After upgrading to 0.8 firmware, SWR measurements seem off #firmware
Hi Matt, After a firmware upgrade, all previous data must be deleted from the device storage to prevent it from being used. Therefore, after updating the firmware, use the 'clearconfig 1234' command

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
My approach is to attach the antenna to the NanoVNA to mimic the handie-talkie as best as possible. Hold the VNA as you would a radio and make your measurements. A rubber ducky on a ground plane is

Re: #measurement Problems for reading SWR, Graph always mooves ! #measurement
Hello Pierre, Yes, what the others have said, your hand changes the loading on half the antenna, both with HT and Nano. If your goal is max range mountain-topping, you can easily make a much better

Re: 450-OHM WINDOW LINE........OR IS IT?
I'm probably one of those rare birds who actually uses twin-lead VF and Zo. There's about a 30 foot run of coax from where my doublet's window-line terminates on an outside wall of the house to the

Re: After upgrading to 0.8 firmware, SWR measurements seem off #firmware
The coax braid/ground is connected. I should elaborate that I see higher than normal readings when testing many different antennas. I just tried flashing back to the 0.7 firmware and get the same
