Setting up the NanoVNA for checking baluns and insertion losses Part 2

Here is how you test an antenna switch for SWR insertion, in line attenuation and isolation between ports.
The NanoVNA is a great little unit for doing so many things and not limiting yourself to just checking SWR of an antenna.
Here is a link to my last video where is show you how to set the NanoVNA up for making the above tests.

Thx Barry for the no bull laymen approach. Without any back ground music informative novice hams take and the extra class ham take notice or learn the hard way

Lets hear it for the little inexpensive piece of gear too... Damn Nano VNA technology is un-believable and this video just re-enforces what an outstanding addition the Nano is to any amateur station for under a C note. Excellent presentation... 73

Great Job Barry! Wish you had an MFJ switch to test. Hihi

[@rodw7zrc22]

I’ve watched a lot of videos on how to use the nano vna and this one of the best! Thanks for providing this. 73, Rod/w7zrc

Barry, another question; The Attenuator On CH1, does that ADD to the negative dB reading you are seeing? Exp.; The -72 dB? Would that really be -62dB ? Also, I know that 150 MHz is close to 2M, but why not stop / use 148 MHz ?

[@barrygkx]

Once calibrated, the 10 db pad is transparent. So no, it does not affect the reading. If it says -72 db, it's -72 db. Barry

Excellent, thanks Barry, you have a great teaching style. Would it be possible to create a future video on making and testing rf transformers using various ferrite cores?

[@EddieVfgi]

Thank you, you have helped me a lot, nice video good teacher

[@pmsecretary52]

Always learning something from you....Tnxs

[@barrybarry6689]

Barry, what is the purpose of the attenuator connected to CH1?

[@boxingday11]

Thanks Barry 👍🇬🇧

Dont look now but there's a guy stuck inside the nanovna !

[@Inkling777]

Any chance you might use the NanoVNA to check the effectiveness of the clamp-on baluns that many equipment makes put on coax and power cables. I assume they must do something or they wouldn't be there. But are they as good as wraps around a torrid?

[@noname-qf8jg]

Well done.

Very helpfull.Thanks
