Last night someone mentioned they were going to use a NanoVNA to tune a new antenna. I didn’t catch his handle or call sign but would like to follow up on his progress. I used one to check the SWR on a mag mount antenna I cut down to better match MURS frequencies. That seemed to work ok, but I know there is a lot more a person can do with one, like checking coax loss.

Hi Marvin, that was me who mentioned the NanoVNA. I just ordered the NanoVNA SAA-V2 on Amazon from AURSINC, who seems to have a decent reputation. Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089DJXMX3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3KC9Z86M9XWS3&psc=1
I haven’t received it yet, but will be watching the Youtube Videos to familiarize myself with the operation and capabilities. It seems like this device has quite a broad set of features when it comes to measuring antenna-related parameters. I look forward to learning how to use it, and to tuning my 2M ground plane antenna!
Hi Daniel – thanks for responding. I have the AURSINC NanoVNA-H rev 3.5. It goes goes up to 1.5GHz, which is fine for my use. I do wish it had a PC interface like the one you ordered. Maybe you could give an update on the regular forum once you have used it.
You definitely need to use online resources, like YouTube, to set up various tests. It only comes with a simple menu map.
