Re: USB vs no USB readings Plots change...
Back in the 70's I worked for GE testing yokes on TV's. The yokes had a couple of layers of #22 enameled wire etc... I say all this to open some ideas or complaints regarding using these yokes to do

As someone who just got nanoVNA 4 from amazon I recommend following this guide from nanovna.com to ensure you get a legit one that is firmware upgradable. https://nanovna.com/?page_id=121

Re: Not available at Ali Express / Zeenko
I THINK you can buy the nano VNA 4 on Amazon.

Re: nano VNA-H will not connect via USB to control apps on Win10 - help please
Hi Paul There are no devices shown in gray. nanoVNA-QT can't see the device. Instructions in https://nanorfe.com/nanovna-software.html say it needs a driver. I installed CypressDriverInstaller_1.exe

Hi Steve yes, I have 4 cables, all check good using other devices Thanks

Hi Brian, Have you tried a different USB cable?? I use the same cable that I use with my Android cell phone and it works perfectly.? I use Win 10 and I never had to install different drivers...

Re: nano VNA-H will not connect via USB to control apps on Win10 - help please
I don't think you need to add any drivers on Win 10... (Pretty sure, I didn't, anyway. But it's been quite a while.) You might try going into Device Manager, select View / Show Hidden Devices, and

nano VNA-H will not connect via USB to control apps on Win10 - help please
I posted this query on Jul 17 #33483 There were no helpful replies. I have tried installing every USB driver I can find for the nanoVNA but none of them makes the nanoVNA appear in the list of USB

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
For large, high-Q coils, some crystal set builders use a styrofoam cake dummy like this: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/6-x-4-foam-round-cake-dummy/246CDRD46.html Styrofoam is as close to air as

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
We use blocks covered with static dissipative film (Amstat, etc.) The surface resistance is sufficiently high that it doesn't load the RF system, but it also prevents the charge that inevitably

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
Large styrofoam blocks are the "standard" in professional communities. At home, with all the RF test equipment, I use either corrugated boxes or an empty 50-gallon rubbish can. I could buy large

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
Corrugation should lower the dielectric constant and loss of any material roughly in proportion to its air content. So corrugated cardboard should have better specs than the uncorrugated cardboard

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
One can easily MEASURE the ¦År of the corrugated box material. Build a parallel plate capacitor using aluminum foil, single or double-sided FR-4 PCB, or some other creative set of flat conductors.

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
Possibly the ¦År rating of the corrugated paper, itself, is well above unity, which I seriously doubt. But a large box is pretty much all air with an ¦År miniscually larger than unity. Dave - W?LEV

Re: NanoVNA for 120 ohm Twin wire Balanced lines
I used to use cardboard to support things until I found these 1 MHz specs for cardboard with a density 0.5 ounces per cubic inch: dielectric constant 6, loss tangent 0.04. By contrast, styrofoam type

Re: US Manufacturers?
When I worked on GPS initial design we had a rigorous spec for the noise temperature of several of the receivers. This was in the late 1970's. We could not make the spec with anything from the US at
