Blew the front end of my H4 :(
4
Today I was doing two things at once, and unfortunately transmitted 400W of SSB into my inverted-V while my nanoVNA H4 was still hooked up to my OCFD antenna! Although they are perpendicular, they're not far enough apart to save the front end on the H4 :( So - how difficult is this to repair? Are the parts expensive, or too small to replace by hand (i.e. should I just buy another)? Thanks for any helpful hints. -Charles

alternatives to nanovnsaver?
5
What are the alternative to vnasaver? I got it running fine but discovered that it is painfully slow and it doesn't mark frequency line in small increments. What I want is something that is fast as the standalone vna so I can do some what ifs regarding antenna tuning for various frequencies and save the results as well. Maybe VNA_QT does that? My surfing on VNA_QT seems to indicate that I would have to reflash my 5 year old VNA. Plus I don't know if its faster or how easily one can store output files. I've had reasonable luck reflashing other devices so I think I could do it w/o bricking but if VNA_QT isn't faster then its not worth the effort. I know I shouldn't complain, after all its all free. 73

looking for beginners guide to connect vna to pc
5
is there a beginners guide to connecting your nanovna-h to a pc? It may not be as simple as I am thinking. I have a nanovna-h edy555 ver 0.4.5-1 efbbceca when I connect it to my pc it shows up as usb std ser com3 then I launch vna-qt but it doesnt seem to know its there. clicking on devices does nothing. Is my choice of software wrong? 73 thanks

Measuring signal levels Re: [nanovna-users] Adapting the LiteVNA for SAR?
VNA is the wrong tool (coherent detection depending on harmonic structure, and with a single detection bandwidth). Use a nano Spectrum Analyzer

The scroll button change the Start frequency
3
Hi All I have H4 + 1.2.40 , after some use without problems , i have a serious bug with the scroll button , it does no more change marker frequency but start frequency , is it normal ? may be i am missing some setting ?? 73's Nizar

Upgraded GOOZEEZOO 7in NanoVNA SV4401A
Has anyone used the SV4401A nanoVNA ? Thinking of getting one off Amazon, but most of the reviews are for other models of nanoVNA. Orrin WN1Z

NanoVNA App - Installation and Use
60
#applications
A very useful PC application for the NanoVNA was developed by One Of Eleven as an alternative to NanoVNA Saver and other earlier programs. It was originally done for personal use but was kindly offered to the community. After development was stopped by the author the source code was released so that improvements could be done by others. The program is easy to use and has many nice features... - Multiple graphing options and flexible scaling options. - Calibration works reliably and includes averaging and smoothing options - Built in firmware uploading tool that is easy to use - Continuous run mode which is useful for tuning filters and antennas - Four memories that can be used to compare results in the graphs - Export and Import of Touchstone files (s1p and s2p) - Multiple marker capability with various display options. DiSlord and Owen Duffy have made several recent improvements and bug fixes. The updated program can be downloaded here >> https://github.com/owenduffy/NanoVNA-App/releases The program is mouse driven and by right clicking on any graph you can change the tiling options (# of graphs on screen) and the type of graph (SWR, RL, Reactance, Smith etc.). Please post any questions about how to use the program in this topic. Roger

a little confusion in vision between 0 and 8 on the display
2
Hi May be not a very objective vision, it seems to mee that there is a little confusion in vision between 0 and 8 on the display, with SEESII H4 + DiSlord 1.2.40 , I prefer a simple 0 graphic display without the strike symbol , it will make the screen easier . Thanks 73's Nizar .

NanoVNA port renormalization
47
NanoVNA has a port renormalization function (called Port Z, see DISPLAY->PORT Z: 50) that allows you to see the measured S parameters at other port impedances. But since NanoVNA is only available for measuring S11 and S21 parameters, the following assumptions are made for renormalization: S22 = S11 and S12 = S21, i.e. the DUT is symmetrical. To simplify the calculations, a non-complex impedance value is used and the new impedance of both ports is the same. And now the question is to what extent it is necessary to make calculations for different values ??of port impedance, because then the DUT is not symmetrical?? and the assumption that the S22 = S11 and S12 = S21 are equal is not true. Or this can be useful?

NanoVNA-H4
3
I have a NanoVNA-H4, I have no problems checking antenna SWR etc. But what I want to do now is to check the performance of a "Diplexor" You know one of these things that splits/combines a 2 meter and 440 antenna into one common output. You know one of these. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dmn-mx72d?seid=dxese1&srsltid=AfmBOorYLOCQdZje08Kz0wOkDVIXNgAUhA_L0yFz09dCrJpwlHKyHOy7b_g <https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dmn-mx72d?seid=dxese1&srsltid=AfmBOorYLOCQdZje08Kz0wOkDVIXNgAUhA_L0yFz09dCrJpwlHKyHOy7b_g> I want to measure the insertion losses for each band. and then the amount of isolation between the bands. Can anyone show me a video on how to do this? OR give me a step by step on how to do it? Joe WB9SBD

After firmware update my nano-vna-h is behaving bizarrely.
3
After calibrating after upgrading to new firmware NanoVNA-H.v1.2.40.dfu from dsilord, the nano vna is showing what seems to be crazy flickering SWR values even after recalibrating and trying to find any setup that needs to be repeated. Is this a known thing? Is it indicative that my device, labelled Nano-VNA-H and running a slightly earlier DSILord 1.2.x (1.2.30 I think) should go back to 1.2.30? Warren VA7 WPX

Smith Chart acting up in calibration
16
On my H4, I recently started having a problem calibrating. During cal the smith chart is sweeping wildly displaying a lot of straight angled lines about the cursor. In the end the cal fails as evidence by measuring the cal standards. This started after flashing firmware to H4 dislord 1.2.40 though I suppose it could be coincidental. I opened it and checked for cracked solder joints but didnt see any. Then I flashed it a few more times, testing in between, and finally after 2-3 attempts it started behaving normally again. Has anyone else seen this before? Maybe I had some setting botched? Bryan, N0LUF

Nanovna-h and Windows 11
4
Apologies for the repeat of an ongoing topic. As a recent purchase I am banging my head against the wall attempting to update the firmware for my nanovna-h. I have no issues configuring and using it to undertake SWR for my antennas. However, when attempting to update the DFU file, my windows 11 device manager immediately shows the device disappear and still in the DFUSE software the device does not exist. Is anyone able to provide a step by step approach of the key drivers etc...and the order of installation that I need to go through to finally get this device updated. Thank you, Pete

NanoVNA and FY6XXX generator
9
HI to all I own a FY6900 device, a cheap but very complete generator (mine is the model working up to 60mHz). Till now I've used it only with an oscilloscope, but I would like to employ also with a NanoVNA Anyone has done so? I think should be very useful for my tests (i.e. building filters). Thanks for any suggestion 73 Gabriele, I4JXE

SWR Question
24
When I am constructing an antenna, I have been using this device to plot the swr in my shop. I usually set a wide enough bandwidth to easily see the dip at resonance. In the shop, connecting this device directly to the SO239 connector, the sweep on the screen is perfect. But in testing with the antenna installed with coax, and testing at the end of the feed line, the sweep seems strange. See attached
