You made this easy, too. Thank you, Eric....

You can save the calibrations. Awesome

[michaelgunter]

I use mine (a smaller unit) with my laptop so I have a better view of what is going on. It is a pain to recalibrate every time I change frequency but well worth the effort for what you learn about your antenna.

A big takeaway from this video is right at the beginning - it sounds like it's best practice to calibrate while the jumper cable is attached. Makes sense and feels like the right thing to do. I wonder how large the impact would be on the results if not done this way

One coolio piece of an Analyzer for a way less of what you pay for a Rig Expert. And it does the same great Job. Happy easter folks. 73's de Uncle Günter

Oh man! I gotta get me one of these! Used to work for a two way radio company. The Anritsu 331B was one of my favorite toys, followed by a Fieldfox. Made tuning my 80m OCF Windham a snap. Miss having access to one dearly. This looks like just the ticket. Thanks for the video! 73, de W1MM.

Thanks for the demo, I just bought one.

[coolstuff_.]

Cool. I picked one up after watching and like it so far :)

Did you ever get a chance to compare the accuracy of this to your MFJ? Curious as I just ordered one of these.

Does more than my rig expert at 5 times less. Quick Question: For the past 2-3 years I've been buying from HRO, I spent over 10k in 18 months. 3 months ago I ordered 20 mid-grade pl259 and 176's when they came in I put them aside for a few weeks until I moved my radio room. When I went to use them I noticed all the sleeves on the 259's weren't threaded to end so they wouldn't thread on to a 239. I also noticed where the 176 would thread-in the 259's threads were fine thread, not the so-called standard. I called them HRO and was told to send pics which I did but never heard back, I called again and was told to send them back at my expense. So Seeing I've been off the air since 83-84 and just started up about 3 years ago, Im not up on good places to buy from. Any ideas? HRO will never see my $$$ again.

I love mine it works great and is really accurate. Worth every penny enjoy. M

Your phase and resistance plots are for CH1, which isn't connected.

[lornes]

I noticed you used the black cable for your antenna hook up instead of going through the calibration gold colored lead. Both came in my kit. Does it matter? Is that involving error in calibration by introducing a different lead?

[Locksnut]

Thanks for the useful demo. I recently purchased one from R and L. Was cheaper, even with the shipping

[NatureZone]

So what happened to PART 3 of the Midland MicroMobil? Just spent the time to watch both 1 & 2 because you said you were going to do a part 3 with testing of them. Looked and looked on your video list and don't see it.

Hello very interesting video!! Thanks.
A few questions before I buy the nanoVNA-H4. Is the plastic housing no problem with RF radiation?
And isn't the mounting of the SMA connectors on the printed circuit board mechanically weak?

[wrdr]

Couple questions/comments. I have one of these (model H4). I also have to set scale for SWR. Also I don't see impedance on mine, only reactance. Once you save a calibrated range, do you still have to recalibrate every time you turn these on? If so, the save is not very useful IMHO. Really hoping there is a way to check impedance.

[JPBevr]

Curious about 5he battery. As with all rechargeable packs, they eventually go bad. Does it require a dedicated battery pack or can you use AAA batteries or another type of battery?

[gianlucapuglielli]

Che cosa hai dimostrato ? Niente in ingresso e in uscita ? solo unboxing

[hopperscot]

buy the nanoSA as well 2 small bits of kit that make life easy
