Hi everybody,
Only checking if my account on the new N2PK-VNA vector network analyser group is OK.
Kind Regards,

How to see the old messages
Hi
I have seen in the files of the new group the messages.
I have tried to see the content but i see only a lot of figures, words
non sense.
Can anybody explain to me how to visualize correctly the
messages of the old group ?
Thanks
Gianfranco

Re: How to see the old messages
I recommend download "messages.zip" from files section folder.
Then uncompress.
Then open messages-8-20-2014-thru-10-22-2019.txt (with "notepad.exe" or other simple text editor.
One line per message.
Example:
26|25|2004-09-07 22:10:24|Paul Kiciak|Re: Reflection bridge|Hi Davide, > A question, did anybody measure the directivity of the reflection > bridge described at page 21. > Thanks > 73's > iw3hev, Davide The measured directivity on my T1-6T bridge exceeds 53 dB for 0.05 - 10 MHz. Above 10 MHz, it drops at about 12 dB/octave and is 20 dB at 60 MHz. Also for reference, the measured (Short-Open) ratio in dB on my T1-6T bridge is about +0.7 dB / -0.0 dB for 0.05 - 60 MHz and about +0.3 dB / -0.0 dB for 0.1 - 30 MHz. Here is an easy way to measure bridge directivity: --- 1. Pick the desired freq sweep in TRANS. 2. Use the bridge with an OPEN on the DUT port for the cal THRU. 3. Open the Detector as usual for that cal step. 4. Put the bridge back on with 50 Ohms on the DUT port and measure it as the DUT. 5. Directivity will be essentially the negative of the measured gain, so just plot/view that. --- This test doesn't measure purely bridge directivity since it also includes the effects of source and load match in the VNA RF DDS and Detector RF Input. If desired, these effects can be reduced by inserting some attenuation (pads), say 10 dB, at the RF DDS Output and Detector RF Input. Generally, the addition of these pads would change the measured results by less than 1 dB, I expect. Obviously directivity will also depend on the quality of the 50 ohm load standard used in Step #4. The (Short-Open) ratio can be measured using the same procedure, but use the Short calibration standard in Step #4 in place of the 50 Ohm load standard. My tests were performed with the two 8 pF capacitors called for on Fig. 11 of Part 2. Other measured results with the same nominal capacitors will likely be different depending on component tolerances. Most of this is of little consequence when the bridge is used with the VNA software since the OSL calibration accounts for these and other (linear) errors The main utility of good bridge directivity is if the bridge is used in other non-VNA apllications. -- 73, Paul N2PK

Greetings I have been a keen user virtually from the beginning. Recently a very good friend passed away and prior to leaving us he donated the VNA Items which he built or purchased, He was an expert builder and his superior workmanship is clear. Unfortunately he died before final assembly and testing. Here are the items that I am offering for sale as a complete set.
The case is typically used in N2PK VNA projects .The front panel has the 3 SMA connectors with a USB rear connector
Main board rev 5.1 came from Ivan VE3IVM
Semiflex cables with SMA connectors are used throughout
HF reflection bridge has SMA sockets to match those on the front panel with male-male couplers
VE3IVM RF-IV rev 2 board (not built)
Two low noise power supplies with over-voltage and crow-bar protection were designed specifically for the N2PK VNA and made by OM3LZ, One is dual 12 and 5V version 4 is the other supplies 12, 9 and 5 v for use with transverters.I recommend studying the OM3LZ project description on his web site
I will be pleased to respond to email questions and will provide pictures of all items to those interested As a sanity check I am expecting offers over $300

Hi All,
With the start of the new year, I am seriously considering
discontinuing the N2PK.COM website. Assuming I proceed with this,
it will likely happen shortly after Feb. 1, 2020. The website will
be gone and this will be my only email address.
As I believe I have mentioned before, anyone wanting to save all
of the N2PK.COM content and then re-display it somewhere else can
do so with my agreement as long as that content is credited with
me being its author.
I would appreciate anyone doing this to notify us all on one
and preferably both of these groups.
Many thanks to the MANY people who have supported and improved
the N2PK VNA over the years, in particular: Ivan (VE3IVM),
Dave (G8KBB), Bill (W7AAZ), Harold (W4ZCB - now SK),
Tom (DG8SAQ), Greg (W8WWV), Ian (GM3SEK), and Roger (GM4PMK).
I suspect there are others that I am not recalling and to
those I apologize.
It's been a WONDERFUL experience for me!
Happy New Year,
Paul N2PK

Many thanks, Paul, for you contribution to the community.
I'll be "pumping" your website for my personal archives and will try to find a host during the following weeks. If I succeed, I'll send a notice to the community.
After the disappearance of Sam Wetterlin's web site, the temporary troubles of Scotty Sprowl's MSA pages (now solved), it would be a shame if your work could disappear.
The first time I register on this mailing list, many years from now, I was a complete nOOb and definitely unable to make the difference between a VNA and a SA. Your analyzer and your many patient explanations on this mailing list gave me the opportunity to learn a lot

Hi Everyone, Happy new year! I too wish to express my appreciation at this amazing collaborative project. I hope it continues to provide many years of fun, learning and useful functionality to us all. Secondly, not to replace the effort from others who may uploaded the entire site, I've been thinking as an ancillary thing it is worthwhile having a collaborative location too, and making the original papers more accessible, given that VNA is highly relevant to so many engineers who are not into HF radio, but are into IoT, EMC, component characterization, etc. Also, the content is relevant to all VNA users, even if they will never get around to assembling their own, and it is an easier read than a lot of books.. So, I've initially just taken the first paper, and HTML-ized it. It took all evening! : ). I've kept all the text the same of course, but took the opportunity to insert hyperlinks and correct the broken links that had occurred over time (e.g. Agilent -> Keysight). Also, all images in the PDF were captured in high-res, and are now clickable for zooming in, good for old eyes : ) It is under version control on the element14 website which is Jive based.. I've got it in Draft form currently while I add more hyperlinks, so I cannot send the link yet, but I'll send across once they are publicly available. Also, everything now has clickable sections. Plus, I decided to split that first PDF into three separate web pages, since it naturally splits at Example measurements, Theory, and Performance. That way beginners don't have to wade through 18 pages, and if people want to comment or ask questions related to a particular section, they can do so directly under the correct URL (and the comments capability under Jive allows anyone to intersperse photos/diagrams and videos in their comments too, for good collaboration with lots of detail). Each web page has preface text to explain the copyright. Of course this isn't a PDF replacement, but I think it will be nice having a choice to read the HTML version too, and comment with the rich image/graphics capability as mentioned with no (practical) limits. Also, another benefit of the HTML being that it looks nice reading the content on a mobile too (I just tested). Nothing is permanent so I think it's good we don't assume that content will remain forever at any one location, and maybe it doesn't need to be at just one location in just one format. Example snippet: [cid:4dc040f3-e3d6-40eb-8b8f-1d826f8eac13] Another example: [cid:efda3e80-679d-41f4-bfa2-cb3d163f6141] Clickable images can be expanded to see the diagrams closely: [cid:8cd4fabb-82d4-4a52-9583-1cf77e9b9298] ________________________________ From: [email protected] < [email protected]> on behalf of Paul Kiciak <pkiciak@...> Sent: 02 January 2020 00:05 To: Dave Roberts <dave.roberts@...> Cc: [email protected] < [email protected]>; N2PK-VNA <n2pk-vna@...>; Makarov, Ivan <miv@...>; bill@... <bill@...>; Tom, DG8SAQ <baier@...>; Ordy, Greg <ordy@...> Subject: Re: [N2PK-VNA] N2PK Website Many thanks, Dave, but the N2PK VNA would have suffered an early demise had it not been your and Ivan's efforts with respect to adding the USB interface!

As I believe I have mentioned before, anyone wanting to save all of the N2PK.COM content and then re-display it somewhere else can do so with my agreement as long as that content is credited with me being its author.
t
I would appreciate anyone doing this to notify us all on one and preferably both of these groups.
Many thanks to the MANY people who have supported and improved the N2PK VNA over the years, in particular: Ivan (VE3IVM), Dave (G8KBB), Bill (W7AAZ), Harold (W4ZCB - now SK), Tom (DG8SAQ), Greg (W8WWV), Ian (GM3SEK), and Roger (GM4PMK).
I suspect there are others that I am not recalling and to those I apologize.
It's been a WONDERFUL experience for me!
Happy New Year,
Paul N2PK

I apologize, Shahbaz, as it seems I guessed wrong before on your first name.

Hi Ivan,
I think adding my website content to yours is a natural and I thank you, in advance, for
doing that.

It had been a wonderful journey building, learning and using your VNA and
changed our horizons, that is for sure. Thank you for that!

Not possible to overstate how significant to me is your vna design.
Pretty sure I told you but just to repeat for the others on this email, it
was used in the development of the EMV contactless test equipment. The
resulting emv reference kit (aligned using commercial lab VNAs) is used to
type approve the design of every contactless payment card on the planet
including nfc mobile phones used for payment.
Any chance of a zip of the files to save downloading page by page?

Hi
Ivan's proposal is definitely the most viable and logical. Thank you

Many thanks for all, Tom, and I presume this is the Keysight USB VNA you refer to:

Hi Paul and all,
a Happy New Year to all of you!
Indeed, it was a great learning experience that we went through together.
Many thanks for many fruitful discussions!
And I really believe that you moved something in industry. The N2PK VNA
was pretty much the first VNA without display making use of a PC.
At the end of 2019 even Keysight finally brought out a USB VNA family
without display.
Best wishes and best regards,

Yes, Dave, I plan to discontinue both my N2PK.COM and KICIAK.NET domains in February.
I am also no longer skilled in HTML and website uploads, so it would be too much effort
at this point to even post a temporary re-direct.
So it seems that posting the re-direct on both groups.io and yahoo are the remaining
options.
BTW, these changes also mean that my GMAIL address, as here, will be my ONLY email
address after early February.
73,
Paul N2PK

Thanks Paul.
I have also downloaded a copy of the files as a backup. Ivan, thanks for
keeping the files going. A good solution.
Paul,? it might be an idea to do a redirect from the current website
address to ivan's hosting of it unless you are letting the domain name
lapse as well.
