Re: OT: looking for testers for a tiny handheld spectrum alayzer
Hello Erik,

Show quoted text
I would like to test your spectrum analyzer. I have used an old HP 8558B to illustrate USB and LSB. However, the resolution just barely illustrates this and I have been looking for a better SA. I also use it to show the difference between broadcast FM, our FM on two meters, and commercial narrow band FM. I also occasionally us a SA to troubleshoot amateur equipment. Below is a photo of some of my equipment. I have also ordered a nanoVNA-V2 and am waiting like everyone else for its arrival. I have used a miniVNA for years to evaluate antennas for myself and club members. I¡¯m looking forward to a new device and being able to check antennas up to 1296. I will be following the development of your SA. Thanks, Joe Joe Joncas WA7MHB Lincoln County Radio Amateur Club 541-272-3207 joe1@... On Apr 27, 2020, at 7:37 AM, erik@... wrote: |
Re: Screen issue on NanoVNA-H4
#nanovna-h4
I had the same problem.? The H4 would not start but 1 time in 10.? and froze under computer control.

I put small nylon washers on the mounting screws as spacers to keep the case from touching the screen. Also had to file out the hole for the USB-C cable. Works great now. Terry W0ASP On 4/27/20 8:46 AM, hugen@... wrote:

While I do have some test equipment and enjoy working on antenna I would love to get a hold of one of the units to connect it to a PC for a larger screen like NanoVNA-saver does for the NanoVNA.

There will only be a limited number of tester products. Selected testers will receive a tinySA and are kindly requested to use it and feedback their experience.

Other changes only for H4 (H version can`t fast process DSP in 64bit integer, H4 have hardware support for it) PS change 96kHz mode for AIC ADC i will revert (this mode have more noise), i found PLL set error in AIC init, and now i test fix On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 10:44 AM, <reuterr@...> wrote:

Hello DiSlord,
Yes, you did up to version 0.8.4.3. Unfortunately the version 0.8.4.4 for the -H (not -H4) version is missing. I am very happy with your version, especially for audio measurement (from 1 KHz upwards). Please have a look at the appended screen shot WSPR_Cauerfilter_LP5_3KHz_nanoVNA.png It shows an audio Low-Pass filter measurement with a cut off frequency of 3 KHz. 73, Rudi DL5FA |

I had suggested the possibility of such an item (SA with tracking gen) quite some time ago. And, while I'd be very happy to be a "tester", I imagine there are many others who would be better qualified than me. In any event, I plan on following your development of this item.

I will be closely monitoring the progress of this project as I am very limited on space for all things RF as I live in a 40 foot travel trailer and travel frequently. My radio station/lab is limited to an area about 2 ft deep by 3 ft long, so not much space for everything. I am active on 1.8-440 Mhz. And I am starting to work on a 1.2 Ghz transverter. I would be interesting in adding a Spectrum analyzer to the kit. Let me know how I can help. Thanks and 73, James Hickox, AA5AO On Mon, Apr 27, 2020, 9:37 AM <erik@...> wrote:

I would be interested in being a tester for your product, as I have 2 project antennae in the works now, and plan on another in the near future. Best Regards, Dennis On April 27, 2020 at 10:37 AM erik@... mailto:erik@... wrote: |

Hi Toontje,
For a more secure solution, place 4 pieces of plastic pads between the pcb and the top blanket. /g/nanovna-users/message/10369 73, Gyula HA3HZ -- *** ( ) *** |

I might be interested in playing with one of those.? I don't have a project so much as I do have friends who are excited to learn about electronics.? I showed one how AM and FM spectra are different and how they change with modulation depth and frequency.? It was interesting to see his take on what goes on, that the books were really right about all of it, including Bessel nulls and all.? Another aspect is to see how the old signal generators have incidental FM which not only spoils the modulation quality but also offers an unintended FM generator. Seeing how harmonics change depth with signal amplitude is also interesting, as the panel controls and manuals give no clue.? And again, the old generators have gratuitous distortion. Audio generators are not free of these complications either. I have a few spectrum analyzers which could serve as comparison vis amplitude and frequency calibrations. So if I can be of help let me know.? I am in Los Angeles California. Bob K6DDX On Monday, April 27, 2020, 07:37:33 AM PDT, erik@... <erik@...> wrote:

Hi Hugen!

That was a very simple solution. I loosened the screws up and the device started working. Then I tightened them just enough for the case to close and all is working fine now. Thanks a lot!! I was afraid to have to send the device back and wait another 6 weeks. On 27 Apr 2020, at 16:46, hugen@... wrote: |
Re: Screen issue on NanoVNA-H4
#nanovna-h4
It looks like your NanoVNA-H4 that we sold earlier has a distorted case, you may need to loosen the screws on the back to start properly, we have fixed this issue, you can contact us for a new case. Sorry again for our mistake.

Screen issue on NanoVNA-H4
#nanovna-h4
Toontje
After waiting for 6 weeks I received my NanoNVA-H4 today. Very nice device, even nicer packaging.
When I started the Nano the right-hand menu showed up and was stuck at the RECALL option. I was not able to select any other option. Whenever I tap the screen I get back to the RECALL option. Sometimes is cycles between RECALL 4 and the RECALL sub menu. I think something is stuck in the touch screen, however, I cannot see any physical damage.I upgraded to the latest version on which was supposed to fix the stuck screen, but this doesn¡¯t help. Do you think my screen is broken? Thanks, Ton. |
