Re: Coax length and defect identification
Looking at your photo your yellow trace shows S21 linear instead of S11 Linear. I don't know what revision of firmware you have but recent firmware has a Cable Measure function built in. Have you

Re: Coax length and defect identification
John. Thanks for your reply. Yes I have examined 2 meters each side of center. No issues are visible. That doesn¡¯t mean that there is no damage. I will look at return loss and characteristic

Re: Coax length and defect identification
You didn't mention this but to me what you have determined is that there is something causing an indication close to the centre of your coax, have you visually inspected where the VNA is indicating

Re: Coax length and defect identification
Postscript: I note that I the pictures that I had attached show a sweep from 500Khz to 200Mhz. This was a photo setup error. When resetting the stop frequency to 125Mhz, the peak moves ever so

Coax length and defect identification
I have experienced a sudden and unexplained increase in the SWR of my HF antenna, I suspect the cheap coax or one of its pre-installed connectors. Before I chop the PL259s and install new ones, I

Re: Wish list of future features for nanovna
The tiny SA ultra.....with it's 4" screen, will also measure 2 tone IMD of a linear amplifier, like imd 3-5-7....and also harmonic suppression of a linear amplifier.

Re: Wish list of future features for nanovna
NanoVNA can`t change output (only 4 steps), also output depend from frequency PS yes possible use external attenuator controlled by NanVNA over Serial, calibrate it. For this need software update

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
What are your START and STOP frequency settings? On which bands is the antenna supposed to work? When I sweep a multiband antenna, the nanovna shows me the SWRs of all the resonances within the range

Wish list of future features for nanovna
Guys/gals, I bought my nanovna H over a year ago and for such a small price, it is an amazing bit of kit. Besides antenna tuning I use it for genera tuning of my rigs. I use it as a signal generator

Re: Whats the best way to test your NanoVNA H4

No, the nanovna has its own internal signal generator, and wouldn't work with an external one. The best way to check it is to calibrate it (calibration reset, then open, short, load calibration). Then

Re: Measuring swr on fan dipole or windom antenna
If the antenna has wires tuned for several bands, the NanoVNA will display the SWR over a specified spectrum, and whichever wire is tuned to a particular band will cause a lower SWR at that frequency.
