How to read out my NanoVNA's firmware version
Hi all, There are several similar Nanovna clones on the market. I would like to know what I have (or what perhaps not). How do I read out my NanoVNA's firmware version? Is there perhaps a list with

Re: Will a nanoVNA work above 1500MHz?
Can you publish or send me your "experimental" firmware? I would like to run some tests on it.

Re: NanoVNA Saver - bug report?
Hi Nick, thanks for the suggestions! Currently, I have no plans to separate the plots from the main window, as I see them as a main feature of the application, and want them there. The code doesn't

What options should I look for?
There are so many nanovna versions out there and the price varies quite a bit.To get the "best bang for the buck" what should I consider? 1- input shielding2- Calibration loads3- battery4- short m-m

Re: Finger tightening SMA connections
I tested different SMA connectors with hand connection with no wrench and don't find any noticeable difference. Probably because NanoVNA works with less than 1 GHz. Does somebody have any confirmation

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
Yes, limiter diode will ruin measurement. There are two issues with diode: - it add parasitic reactance - it add non-linear distortions of the signal There is no simple way to protect RF device with

Re: Comparing antenna gain process
For antenna gain measurement you're needs to place receive antenna at least half wavelength away from transmitting antenna. Otherwise your measurement will be affected by near field of antennas.

I will have to look for it, but a description of the method used by HP was posted on the Keysight forum by Dr. Joel Dunsmore. I recall him saying it is very memory efficient as it does not require one

Re: Finger tightening SMA connections
Hello Reg, you can also print them by your own 3D printer. See https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3618280 I printed them with PLA in 102% size to fit tight. 73, Rudi DL5Fa

Re: Firmware summary
ok, 8M crystal is normally not a problem for me, but for most nanovna owners F303 is then not real 1:1 replacement. We should probably, if we need more memory, stick on crystal-less USB STM32 (AN4879)
