Re: How do you measure a car antenna?
The 4-Runner was a standard internal combustion engine. The Ford Lightning is an EV. With the EV's comes a massive amount of RFI. It's so bad that manufacturers are eliminating AM radio from their

Re: How do you measure a car antenna?
Hi, Larry, Note that measurements with a VNA will examine the impedance presented by the antenna as a source but not its efficiency at receiving signals. If you compare two antennas, you might see a

I've had good results with Banggood. But you are always taking a risk ordering from any of these companies. They have zero customers service. Banggood seems to be the least horrible!

Re: NanoVNA-App SWR graph does not match H4 graph
Thank you, Stan. That makes perfect sense. I was not aware that calibration sources could be different. I will check that option. Thanks again, Bob, KN4HH

Re: NanoVNA-App SWR graph does not match H4 graph
If the displays are different while doing a measurement, it is very likely a calibration issue. Nanovna-app allows you to select the vna calibration or the app calibration. Make sure that is set to

Dave, I understand your point about the counterpoise extension. However, I would think that the SWR readings would shift the same for both displays. What am I missing. Bob, KN4HH
