Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
Are you certain that you have the correct port selected for the NanoVNA? And are you certain that the software on the NanoVNA is reasonably current? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
In about 75 seconds the NanoVNA Saver main screen finally shows up. But when I try to connect to the VNA comm port it quickly times out: NanoVNASaver.Hardware.NanoVNA_2 - ERROR - Timeout reading

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
There is no problem using the RF Demo kit with any NanoVNA. If you are having calibration problems check the cal loads with a DMM to make sure you have an open, load and short. Calibrate right on the

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
NanoVNA Saver was written in python and all the necessary files to run are "packaged" in the .exe file. Each one is scanned by the virus scanner and it takes a long time to load because of this. On

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
I think you'll find if you leave that black window a bit longer, then NanoVNA will load... it's a slow starter, that's all. Mike

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
I mostly use the box alone. NanoVNA-saver refuses to run on my PC (Win10pro, just gives a black window). I have tried VNA-qt, and the big screen is nice, but -qt lacks some features available on the

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
My nanoVNA is also from Amazon but it's a nanoVNA-F. I did not sound the difference with your -H. Using the box alone is crazy. I advise you to use it through nanovna-saver. It's a bit of a hassle to

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
Respectfully, I think measuring a CM choke is being overly complicated in this discussion. The common mode Z is measured just as if the CM choke was an inductor or capacitor. Either measure it with an

Re: Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
Remember when doing a new calibration, you FIRST must *clear* BEFORE running the new calibration. I can not imagine two units behaving identically in this respect. Dave - W?LEV -- Dave - W?LEV

Fake NanoVNA? Or short between the headset :)
I purchased a NanoVNA off of Amazon. Seem to work when I got it, but then when I tried to calibrate it I'm able to. I even tried updating the firmware. I exchanged it for another one and this time It

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
The diagram from Miro F9LR is very generalized. It is not specific for the case where the DUT is a common mode current choke (current balun). It might be helpful to review what a common mode choke is
