Yes the Al will vary with frequency for ferrite toroids. The reason is that the permeability of the ferrite toroid varies with frequency and the Mix (31,43, 75) etc. has a significant effect. Powdered

Use the deepl translator. It will translate pdf files and keep them in the same format as the original. https://www.deepl.com/translator/files Attached is a translation to French of one of Arie

And, speaking of Smith Charts, if you haven't yet discovered SimSmith, give it a try. It's free. http://www.ae6ty.com/smith_charts.html There is also an excellent tutorial linked from that site. Dave

I have a lot of bad luck with Adobe. I had a CS3 version with Acrobat 8 pro (+ license) but it refuses to work. With Adobe it's hard problems. It is therefore insoluble for me to translate your .pdf

It's a pity that your pages are not in HTML; it would have allowed Chrome to translate them to me in French, online. In English, I can't follow. thanks anyway

Re: Perfect SWR with dummy load, but huge with antenna
I agree.? It matters what you consider a good antenna.? We hams tend to want to see a 1:1 VSWR as a good value, but in the commercial world a VSWR of 1.5:1 (14dB RL) is considered acceptable.? Just

Re: Perfect SWR with dummy load, but huge with antenna
Just being a commercial antenna does not mean it is a good antenna. If you want to make sure the NanoVNA is either hood or bad, check out the antenna exactly the same way you did with the NanoVNA. I

Hello I have very little experience with toroids. I made some RUTHROFF transformers but nothing more. On my cores, I note that the Al is not constant. Is this normal ? TORUS ==== Outside diameter ?

But old firmware DOES have "broke" stuff in the form of bugs, etc., that is why the authors push out the new releases. 73, Don N2VGU

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. At least not until you know it well enough to know what needs to be fixed. I have had too many cases where a software update broke more than it fixed. SherpaDoug

You can dump current firmware on NanoVNA Use DFU mode and Upload Action (and set firmware filename) For load new firmware need use Upgrade Action and select file.
