Video Description

I am super pleased to be able to tune my antennas now! Being able to verify your designs and even better - verify the quality of 3rd party antennas is great for selecting optimal performance in meshtastic and other SDR applications. According to the listing this is the specification of the VNA: NanoVNA-F V2 Antenna Analyzer 4.3inch NanoVNA V2 Vector Network Analyzer 3G Upgraded Version NanoVNA with 5000mAh Measuring S-Parameter Voltage SWR Phase Delay Smith Chart Apparently there is a version that jumps up to 6ghz, that is double the price. Could be useful if you need that range. I am going to have a lot of fun trying all manner of designs now! Amazon has these, it is where I got this unit: Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3SENnMk Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/49a4ATX If you would like to buy me a coffee or support the channel you can do so via Patreon at http://patreon.com/backofficeshow I do have some bits and pieces on my web store at http://backofficeshow.com Please note: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
