SWR Question
When I am constructing an antenna, I have been using this device to plot the swr in my shop. I usually set a wide enough bandwidth to easily see the dip at resonance. In the shop, connecting this

Re: NanoVNA
If your main application is for ham band use, from HF to VHF/UHF (440MHz), save some money and get the H4. If you need good accuracy on bands above the 440MHz band, and above 1GHz, I would choose one

My Suggestion is https://nanovna.com/?page_id=121 Do your research. you want a device based on the Open Firmware, you want a device that supports the software on GitHub. Most of the devices are made

Re: NanoVNA
Any of them. The ones with a bigger display are easier to read. But all of them can do what you¡¯re looking for. The other thing to look at is frequency range, some have a wider frequency range on

Re: NanoVNA-H4 number screen malfunctioning
I discovered the problem -- it is my SD card. If I remove the SD card the NanoVNA operates normally (without changing firmware). I tried a different SC card and the problem returned. So, I need to

Re: Stimulus Span change a bit the Smith measurement
Making the turns closer together increases the resistance, because of proximity effect (like skin effect, but from an adjacent conductor) - it squeezes the current to the inside and outside of the

Re: Stimulus Span change a bit the Smith measurement
Interesting calculation, Jim. Your conductive tube is very descriptive, It points out that when designing an inductor, one should use the biggest wire that is consistent with the mechanical problems

Re: NanoVNA-H4 number screen malfunctioning
Before re-installing firmware, I would try a 'clear config' (under expert settings). That will help reset internal parameters, in case something amiss there is affecting this. Regarding new firmware,

Re: NanoVNA-H4 number screen malfunctioning
As it should! Dfu is *NOT* a COM port, and requires it's own driver which is provided with the app of your choice. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
