New for 2023 - DIY Radio Group
NanoVNA Small Group Hands-on Workshops
Our NanoVNA Workshop participants gained experience using the ~$60 NanoVNA as a HF/VHF/UHF antenna analyzer, as an RF signal source, and to measure components, amplifiers, attenuators, filters and transmission line characteristics and faults and using SimSmith and NanoVNA computer software. Go to groups.io forum for discussion.
