Re: Group Delay Wiggles
I hope you disable internal NanoVNA calibration and use only NanoVNA Saver calibration Linear Interpolation (used in internal calibration if points count or frequency range not equal) can give errors

Re: Group Delay Wiggles
Two easy explanations (assuming a perfect cable) are: 1) The 2 port cal doesn't necessarily take into account that the Ch1 (port 2) isn't perfect. 2) Your S/O/L loads for cal aren't perfect (or more

Group Delay Wiggles
Can anyone explain these wiggles. I am just measuring the group delay of a 2m cable with NanoVNA Saver using a 1MHz to 701MHz 1212pts 3average sweep. I used both a NanoVNA H4 and NanoVNA V2, but the

Re: Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
Since you've been doing this a while, you don't have an issue, but in general, one would want to make sure the isolation between switch ports is high enough to make sure that when you run 100w to the

Connect VNA thru tuner to antenna
I have my antenna going thru my MFJ tuner then to the common terminal of a 6 position coax switch. I leave the VNA connected to position 6. Coax 1,2,3&4 each go to different radios I have. I can

Re: Thanks for the help
I connect a nanoVNA-H4 to my antenna through a tuner. Why not? It lets me watch the effect of the tuner on resonance frequency and SWR as I adjust the settings.

Re: Thanks for the help
Yes, you can absolutely connect a VNA to an antenna via a tuner, it is an excellent way to tune an antenna/tuner system without transmitting (other than the sub-milliwatt VNA signal) and subjecting

One thing to remember is that you can calibrate over a range like 50kHz-50 MHz. You can then sweep a smaller range and as long as what you "calibrated out" isn't too weird, it interpolates. So you can

No, it doesn't. Take the extreme case of having it folded back about half its length. This is a technique used on 40 yagis, because the element length is so long. By folding it back, you roughly

You don't need to cut any, fold it and cable tie it then you get a second chance if you go too far. If you really want to then you can cut later but 4 years on and my wire antenna is still folded.

For 80m antennas, a foot on each side is a good small pruning adjustment. For 40m antennas, 6" on each side is a good small pruning adjustment. I know this from experience.
