Yeah kinda hard to find anything. And if a noob dares ask for help, you probably will get flamed for not using the search function properly type of answers. Oh and a bonus, member emails are available for anyone with an internet connection.

3D Printed Case options on Thingyverse
I recent got my NanoVNA clone from Amazon.
It seems to be a NanoVNA-H clone, white case, No Gecko on the front panel and no shielding. I am looking to get a case 3D printed (I don't have my own printer) but I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of options on Thingyverse and the comments about some cases not fitting some NanoVNAs. Can anyone out there help me narrow down what case might fit ? (i.e. If you have the same model and have found one of these cases that fits, can you tell me which one). If I had my own printer I would just try them all but it is going to cost me money for 3rd party 3d-printing and likely shipping so I would rather not do this by trial and error (i.e. my hope is that the case isn't going to cost me more than the VNA ! ). Thanks in advance Michael VE3WMB |

Re: win7 drivers
there is no drivers section on the wiki files section seems a pisspoorly organised site!!Thanks! Considered applying your keen sense of organization to the highly rewarding tasks of Wiki and Files maintenance and development. |
Thanks Dave,
I have no problem with it. But I feel it is good to be aware of it. The huge number of participants means a considerable chance that someone got a Trojan virus harvesting all emails it can get. So not showing emails is advisable indeed.

Re: Calibration artifact at OPEN
#calibration
Problem solved !
I'm running the new Nanovna-Q software from Nov. 26. Before calibration I did the RESET, sure. The calibration resistors are OK, I have two, one that came with the NanoVna and one from MiniCircuits. The RESET procedure was the problem: I did not realize that I also need to SAVE to Cx right after Reset. Otherwise the data isn't really cleared and remains in the memory. If I remember correctly in previous firmware versions the RESET automatically cleared the memory loction without having to save actively. Whatsoever, now it works fine again. Thanks for your inputs ! |

By googeling for some term, without being registered, you will get groups.io messages without any problem.
So even as groups.io is thought to be group-private: It isn't. If you don't like that, imho you have no choice except not writing anything of any private nature.

Re: Batteries
Andy
Interesting...
Over the past week I have casually reviewed various Li-Ion data sources, and I've seen surprising variations. Up until recently, I had assumed that it was typical to charge a Li-Ion cells at 0.5C. It appears that depending upon individual manufacturers chemistry variations, that you could expect to be informed that they will recommend anything from 0.5 to 2.5C !! But the average is 0.8C. I'm not convinced that I need to be in a rush to change my own supplied NanoVNA cell. The specsheet on the VNA indicates anything from a 300-500ma cell, which when supplied may have been sitting around for a year or two in partly of even fully discharged state before being fitted into a NanoVNA. Given that expectation, and the current draw of the vna anyway, I'm seeing 2.5 hours of use from a single charge and no apparent overheating or explosions (!). Of course, in due course I may see a variation in performance and change my mind ? Not sure if I'm one of the luck ones, but I've had good fortune with my VNA (Black non Gecko).. I bought it, it worked, seems as accurate as can be, was dead easy to re-box and just sits there ready for use when I need it. Perfect ! - Andy - |
Re: Missing driver for ChibiOS/RT Virtual COM port
Hi Roger,
The device manager shows the driver when it is working properly. There are more ways to see what's hidden. What I recommend is a utility called USBDeview, which shows you what driver programs have been installed on your computer since your operating system is running. You can read the usage at the download site. Green candidates at the beginning of the line are in use. Once selected, the right mouse button will bring up a menu and select what you want to do. It is advisable to remove any unknown drivers and then reinstall en.stsw-link004 (ST-Link Utility) or stsw-stm32080 (DfuSe), which will install the drivers as well. You may need these programs during firmware upgrade. Successful use. 73, Gyula HA3HZ |
Re: Can the NamoVNA be used to charctorize a receveiver antenna input impedance
Andy
Yes,I have done the same.
1st test was my Tecsun PL660. The input was about 500 ohms through the external antenna socket. Spec sheet for the SDR chip said about 600 ohms, so that seems in order, since it's a typical broadband result. NOTE - The RX needs to be powered ON, or else the active device impedance will change. Just for fun I measured a few of my HT's. A very cheap and nasty Baofeng UV3R had a typical input impedance of only 11 ohms. A Baofeng UV5R varied between about 33 ohms to 100 ohms. Oh well, a nominal 50 ohms then ;-) A Yeasu VX7R was pretty close to 50 ohms, but still had quite a bit of variation. It's what I expect really, for price, "widebandness" considerations and what is really expected from this class of radio. Most RX inputs are rarely 50 ohms anyway, unless you are purchasing monitoring equipment and you're a govt agency. So don't expect 50 ohms dead on for a consumer rig. - Andy - |
