Re: THE NANOVNA - A COMMENT


 

Hi Dave
Wonderfull to read such a message. I totally agree
My eyes are 4 year older than yours and the enjoy the lastest AA firmware from Hugen with larger fonts on screen. No problem to read the characters now.
I am also impressed with the low noise floor 40dB at 1500MHz seen on my two Hugen-H devices
Kind regards
Kurt

Emne: [nanovna-users] THE NANOVNA - A COMMENT

All too often we receive criticism for something we have accomplished or completed. Well, that is not the intention of this email. My life-long philosophy in such things is that a milligram (choose your unit of measure) of positive praise goes an astronomical units (again, choose your unit of
measure) farther than 1000 kg of negative dressing down (a.k.a., criticism). So, with that stated:

Thank you ALL who brought the AFFORDABLE and highly FUNCTIONAL NANOVNA to the market!!!!! It is a wonderful tool for the amateur and certainly, based on the emails I read, a motivating tool for learning many of the finer points of RF design and more than just basic SWR. Guys and gals, well done ! ! ! ! ! What an instrument for all of US $50. Again, well done........ And all this should include the "saver" SW.

I own an HP 8753C with the HP 85047 S-Parameter test set with a bunch of additional RF and low microwave test gear, mostly HP. I know how to use these instruments. But comparing the NANOVNA to the HP 'equivalent' which, in its day, cost 1000X the NANOVNA , you did a bang-up job. Please continue the efforts and offerings. It IS appreciated. And, BTW, the noise floor using s11 with my unit is about 10 dB better that advertised.

Again, thank you for offering an affordable, motivational, capable, and educational tool to the average amateur (and a few EE's who can't even do Ohm's law....).

PS: I have a pair of 'senior' eyes at 73 years of age (wisdom) and do wish the screen were larger. Minor criticism as this would add cost.
