Re: Should I upgrade firmware, and if so which version to use?
I have a NanoVNA H4. One thing I like about recent firmware updates is that, when you save a calibrated frequency range in the memory, it then actually displays the frequency range that is stored.

Re: Should I upgrade firmware, and if so which version to use?
"Can I upgrade the firmware and obtain additional functionality?" Yes. You didn't say how old your NanoVNA is, or its firmware version - but, if you carefully make note of its current version, find,

Re: Should I upgrade firmware, and if so which version to use?
Right. The question should be "am I missing something I want to use right now or am I using something that has a bug and should be repaired right now." If you don't know what you're missing and all

As a 25yr veteran in sustaining engineering, the ¡°should I upgrade?¡± question always makes me laugh uncontrollably. If you don¡¯t know why you shouldn¡¯t upgrade, the answer is always,

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
Hi Victor, Thank you for your update and information. There are different ways to measure CMC performance as there are different 'lumped' component models of a CMC taking account of parasitic elements

Of course you should still upgrade to the latest. You will get bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features. FREE! 73 -Jim NU0C m2walter@... wrote:

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
A clasic way to explain this was to connect 2 ports with coax, connect the coax shields on 2 ports with a short piece of wire and try to measure the current in the wire but I like this graphic, it is

Re: Common ground and 2-port measuring
Hi Jerry, You're absolutely right. It's not all or nothing. A semantically better way to say it is: RF current always favors the path of least impedance. The degree of "favor" is divided between paths

Re: Perfect SWR with dummy load, but huge with antenna
The measure of a "good" antenna is how well it performs. When I lived in a house with a lot bigger yard a few years ago I had a 40 meter vertical full-wave loop antenna (~12 feet high and ~58 feet

Re: Should I upgrade firmware, and if so which version to use?
You're correct. I was thinking about it and tried it: the NanoVNA does go to 900 MHZ. And all this time I thought that since the default stop freq that it 'boots up with' is 250 Mhz that it was not

Re: Perfect SWR with dummy load, but huge with antenna
Yes, indeed...... The measure of a "good" antenna is not SWR. Of course, a 1:1 in a 50-ohm non-reactive system is essential to keep the transmitter output stage happy, but does not measure how good an

I have an original NanoVNA: it only goes up to 250 MHz. Can I upgrade the firmware and obtain additional functionality? If the firmware can be upgraded which version should I load. Tks. Mark Walter

be careful not to have a dummy load @swr1.1! what is important is the radiated power! so not only check SWR but also radiated electromagnetic field! 73 F6CNG Olivier [email protected]> a ¨¦crit :
