Measuring R,X Resonant Frequency
Greetings, I've recently completed the construction of my first 'home brew' antenna (1/4 wave vertical). A radio friend of mine suggests I should look at resonance as well as SWR. SWR is fine, but I

Re: The screenshot saved in the SD card is blank
The screenshot function was finally solved, the reason was that there was a problem with my chip, I didn't find that the SD_CS pins were pulled low when I probed the waveform, which was very strange,

Re: Nano VNA 10M Dipole Sweep
This happens when you have common mode issues and the outer surface of the coax shield has become part of the antenna. For example - A dipole connect to coax with out a balun will have this issue.

Re: Nano VNA 10M Dipole Sweep
I have a -F and I have never encountered this problem with either a 10 m coaxial or a 40 m coaxial (3-30 MHz). I make my measurements from the station, the NanoVNA being connected to my PC. The

Re: Nano VNA 10M Dipole Sweep
Whenever I have made measurements to antennas I have had very different results -even calibrating the antenna feed coaxial cable- than placing my VNA-F with a 10 cm. patch cord directly to the antenna

Re: Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
I use the nanoVNA to get my Hallicrafters S-40B receiver on frequency for a CW net when using it with my Elmac AF-67 transmitter on CW. I could easily set the nanoVNA slightly off the CW frequency I

Re: Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
Not as a BFO, that should work well. It does make for a good VFO going into a first mixer. getting the levels right can be challenging.

Re: Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
Appreciate all the quick replies here confirming the BFO is do-able in theory. Easiest thing for me to try first would be the Gander VOLMET station on 13270 kHz USB, during the daytime, believe they

Re: Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
There is an article in the August, 1963 issue of Popular Electronics describing an external BFO. It attached to the receiver antenna terminal so the idea has been around 60 years at least. I would

Re: Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
Probably best to do it at the IF frequency rather than at RF. 73 Jeff G8HUL ________________________________________ Sent: 16 January 2025 13:31 To: [email protected] Subject: [nanovna-users]

Re: Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
Hi Bruce, Yes, I have done something similar using my NanoVNA SAA-2N. I set the NanaVNA to a particular CW frequency, but have only used it to test effects of using a filter or amplifier at the input

Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
Has anyone ever tried using the CW output feature to generate a carrier for reception of SSB (LSB/USB) on a cheap shortwave receiver that can only receive AM mode signals? It seems like this should be

Re: Nano VNA 10M Dipole Sweep
Why not perform an swr sweep and see where the min swr falls? The impedance will change with exact length of feedline but thr swr min. should show you where your antenna is closest to resonance. 73,
