Re: NanoVNA-H4 12kHz noise #hardware #improvement #problem #nanovna-h4 #design
No, 12k is IF used in measure. So not possible measure on this frequency or it harmonics PS in H4 possible change IF in config-expert settings menu

Re: updated and calibrated nanovna h4 yields incorrect swr readings
Just buy more than 1 set of adapters - there's plenty of room in the divider bins. 8-) I've gotten too old and grumpy to use the coffee-can approach - when I dump it out I have to root around to find

Re: updated and calibrated nanovna h4 yields incorrect swr readings
Problem with this kit is that there is only one of each! Most times, I need several of several kinds. ADVICE: An old sage at VHF/UHF gave me some excellent advice 50 years ago. Get yourself a 4 or

Re: updated and calibrated nanovna h4 yields incorrect swr readings
I use Pasternack at work, where it makes sense to pay $40 for an N-to-LMR600 crimp connector. For my hobby use that's impractical. I can assemble a whole bin of adapters (and I did) for less than a

Where come from the 12 kHz noise? Possible to filter?

Re: Dead NanoVNA-H4 troubleshooting? #nanovna-h4 #problem #repair
Thanks, I did some more checks: power supplies on the pins of the various devices were ok, clocks were also present (except the 32 kHz, I guess it's used maybe only for the RTC during power down?) but

If DFU works the STM32 microcontroller is working (VDD and clock). Check also the internal supply voltages +5V (U3 / pin 1) and AVDD (U10 / pin 5) - expect 3.3 V. Check the output of the 26 MHz TCXO

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
Wow I'm impressed, what a website everything you wanted to know about testing crystals. Thank you Lex.

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
I have tested and sorted quite a few crystals using a specialy designd adapter for the NanoVNA. See: https://www.ph2lb.nl/blog/index.php?page=xtal-adapter-for-nanovna

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
What the VNA will not do is tell if a given crystal will oscillate, cleanly and on frequency, in a particular circuit, which is what the OP wants. 73, Don N2VGU

Re: Dead NanoVNA-H4 troubleshooting? #nanovna-h4 #problem #repair
Hi Tom; You might try reflashing the firmware and also the bootloader. Both may have been corrupted when the battery died, and it sounds like the bootloader MB ay still be. -- 73 Gary, N3GO

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
The basic go no go test as described is fine. However if you want to accurately determine the crystal parameters you will need more work. For HF crystals a good test jig to avoid strays is useful.

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
Rob, Thanks for the info. I've got a few crystals laying around and I'm basically just looking for a go/no-go on the crystal as it appears dead in circuit. I'll watch the video in the morning, too

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
Justin, Either should work for just seeing if the crystal has a resonance near the expected frequency. I've just used channel 0 for S11 measurements, with the coax shield to one side of the crystal

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
Thanks, Rob. Do I need to use both channels or just the "primary?" 73, Justin B. KI5GKD

Re: Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
I use mine often to check crystals when I suspect they may be bad. I have some SMA to alligator clip cables which make it easy. You can over the expected frequency range, and you should see a S11

Can a Crystal be Tested With NANO VNA?
I'm working on my Heathkit HR-1680 receiver and I have a crystal that I suspect is bad. Can a NANO VNA be used to test a crystal? If so, how? Thanks and 73, Justin B. KI5GKD

Hello, I have a NanoVNA-H4, since 1 year, that worked fine until yesterday: I left it running overnight and this morning I found it with the screen frozen and unresponsive. Cycling power it now shows

Re: How do you measure a car antenna?
You can measure them as you would any other lumped component. Typically you¡¯ll wind up with a Z like 2 + 300k j, which is hard to measure. As to whether the measured Z is meaningful is a whole other
