Re: Testing a monolitic band filter (3 pins)
Hello, thanks for the information. But the question is nothing extraordinary and simple: Suppose you have just tested with the nanovna 2 filters 2 poles 45mhz. They look identical. If you want a 4

Re: Testing a monolitic band filter (3 pins)
TenTec had their "Patented Jones Filter" which worked very well. It was more for a variable bandwidth, but some of the techniques may apply here.

Re: QRM searching?
Minor point, but QRM is interference from other stations. QRN is interference from noise.

Re: TDR doesn't show cable length?
On my V2Plus4 it needs to be entered in percent. e.g. A velocity factor of 0.73 should be entered as 73.

Re: Best Way to measure an Inductor.
OK, I'll add a small correction to that last post ...measurement accuracy...the nominal value of an inductor or capacitor is highest at 0+j50 ohms or 0-j50 ohms, respectively. Just so people don't get

Re: Best Way to measure an Inductor.
The reason why people make measurements at +/- 90 degrees on the smith chart is because the measurement accuracy using the shunt configuration when trying to measure the nominal value of an inductor

Re: TDR doesn't show cable length?
is velocity factor entered as percent or decimal? I can't remember which it's supposed to be, but that *would* make 100 ft look like 1 ft.

Re: Uncertain about coax loss reading
Here are some screenshots done with my nanoVNA-H4 - One show S21 being 0 dB with cable attached between ports (right after calibration) - Next shows S2 noise floor with no cable attached between ports

TDR doesn't show cable length?
I hooked up my nanoVNA to 100ft of Belden 9913 to measure length and it shows it's about 1 foot. I tried other cables and got the same thing. It worked in the past. The cables are good cables. Could

Re: QRM searching?
The task you are describing is far better served by one of the following options: 1) What you need is a spectrum analyzer, NOT a VNA. The TinySA is quite affordable and capable for the purpose:
