@@radiostationad0im307 That part where the marker is that tells you if the dip is to the left of it, your antenna is too long, and if it's to the right of it, too short? Also, up to now, I haven't really "used" my Nano yet. I've tried to get the SWR, but after seeing different videos on how to calibrate it, some using the "patch or jumper" cables that came it, some says it's not necessary, it's confusing. Most of us just wants to use it for the SWR, that's it. I don't care about the Smith chart, the "thru" and "isolation" thingy, the reactance and capacitance, etc. Just step by step, how to "properly" calibrate it and so on.
WA0CBW found Marker 1. It tells you in the upper left of the display; it was at 15.5 Mhz and 3.00 SWR. The marker was at the upper right corner of the screen hiding under the menu. Since the marker would be off the display (above and to the right) you would have to use the jog wheel to move the marker to the viewable portion of the screen.
Very informative, coming from one who knows little regarding Nano VNA. Thanks
Thanks for the positive feedback. I’m not a know it all either, so I enjoy making videos for the non-experts among us.
I learned something here that I didn't get from others. Thanks.
@nats50 I’m glad!
@nats50 Which part if I can ask?

Interesting and informative 👍 Thanks. ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video Kevin! A simple way to learn the basics of the Nano VNA 73
Thanks Jeff!!
Great video. We need some of these for teaching students. i like that case for storage. What model is this and where did you purchase it. thank you
I probably should have posted that earlier. Thanks.
