Re: Antenna / VNA Question
Hooray! No... now you have divided the problem. Divide and conquer. NOW read all of those prior emails and begin to get your head wrapped around the issue of HOW DO I GET MY ANTENNA CONNECTED TO MY

Re: Antenna / VNA Question
Just measured dipole directly without twin-lead; right on expectations! Reactance was 0 at 9, 18.3, 27.8, 37.8, 47.3, 58.5, 67, 77.6, and 86 MHz. Alternate ones, when X moved from capacitive to

Re: Antenna / VNA Question
Andy, What you have constructed is commonly known as a "doublet" antenna (a dipole fed with balanced feedline). The most famous version is the G5RV. If you search with Google on "doublet antenna" you

Re: Antenna / VNA Question
You have the antenna in the attic so I assume you can reach its center point. Maybe not. But if you can, just clip your vna to the feed point and take a measure. I had a 66 foot NVIS 40 meter antenna

Re: Antenna / VNA Question
You are feeding a balanced antenna with a balanced line. No balun is required at the antenna. However, at your transmitter (or NanoVNA) you have an unbalanced input (unless you are using a tuner with

Re: Antenna / VNA Question
Without a proper balun (not a transformer !!) or common mode choke, the NANO and anything it is sitting on or your hand or arm will become part of the measurement. When you make impedance measurements

D.? The 468 rule of thumb is not that accurate. That is just a good starting point.? ?It does not allow for the diameter of the conductor or any nearby objects.? The difference between bare Copper

Antenna / VNA Question
I have a dipole antenna in my attic, made of bare 14 gauge copper wire. It is 49.916 feet long, and the feed point is within 1.5 inches of the center. Thus, the ¡°rule¡± that f=468/L suggests the

The typical life of flash in many SOC micros is around 10K erase/write cycles.? I found this link on an STM32 forum that has some good tips on extending flash life.?

Re: Stripping Coax
yes and no. There's a bunch of "slots" into which the blade drops to adjust the "length". Then the hex screw sets the depth. If you're using two kinds of strips consistently, then getting extra

Re: SWR & Calibration..
Depending upon the version of the NanoVNA and the firmware version the NanoVNA uses 101, 201, 301, or 401 points of measurement. That says that if you have a calibration range of 3 to 30 MHz and the
