Joe, The best way to learn about your NanoVNA is to "learn by doing". Calibrate your unit for 3 to 30 MHz. and make a measurement of a narrow band like 40M by zooming in. Then calibrate for just the

Thanks, I was thinking of something like that. Joe WB9SBD

Always calibrated however, unit does interpolation. Therefore, if you desire best accuracy over a given range, then cal over THAT range.

Ok, say I set up Stimulus for 3 to 30 Mhz. And then do a calibrate Open Short load. Now it is supposedly calibrated for anywhere between 3 and 30 Mhz correct? Now I look at the who range and decide to

OK, that's adjustable for different jacket/braid/dielectric/center diameters, do you have to swap the cartridge for different strip lengths? 73, Willie N1JBJ

Paladin CST Pro https://www.techtoolsupply.com/TempoCST-Pro-Stripper-with-Blue-Blade-p/gre-pa1283.htm looks like it

3 blades cut jacket, shield,dielectric. I enjoy mine.

Hey Jim, Do you have a pointer to the fancy adjustable one? I've been having a hard time finding anything other than 2 and 3 blade non-adjustable ones 73, Willie N1JBJ

Yes, I can calibrate the device, but when doing measurements, I get a lot of lines in a mess. If you have a look at the photo - measurement - you can se a curve form, but rather thick. The form of the

I have tried 3 different calibration sets, they all get the same result. Measuring at DC is ok. My NanoVNA is a SAA-2N, this is a device with N-connectors, so I don't think they have don their job...

It would depend on what coax you are working with. Lately I've been using RG316, quite by accident I discovered that I can neatly remove the outer jacket with my Ideal strippers by using the 14AWG

It depends what you mean by pro. While I was working for a cable provider the service men used cheap tools like these: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AmaRuK https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9QEcIK

That's why I eventually got the fancy adjustable one.? I had a single

For instance, this is still a work in progress, but, for RG-8x: BNC Connectors from HRO: Lands Precision BNC-10Z-DGN https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-009969 N-type for RG-8x:

I tried to find some catalog info, but you need to dig through distributors pages.. There's different flavors of these things. 2 and 3 level stripping, adjustable or not, whether are not you handle

Check your cal loads with an ohm meter to see if they are OK at DC. Take a look at the inside socket of the SMA connectors. Perhaps "drilled out" by rotating pin after too may uses. Roger

Dick, Does the article indicate how much "blow-by" you get (due to the mechanical switches in this design) as the frequency increases? Roger

One of those multiblade spin around the coax I've used a Paladin CST for decades.

I have a ratchet crimp connector and can install various types of terminations. But what tool(s) do the pros use to strip coax? Any suggestions?

I have ordered a limited batch of boards from JLCPCB for the QEX September/October 2021 “Miniature SMA Step Attenuator” pp 9-21 by Tom Alldred VA7TA. If you are interested in a board, at $3.00 ppd
