You should get some connector savers. They look like an attenuator but they have a straight through connection. Just wind them onto the two VNA ports and leave them there. No need to use jumpers that way.

Very nice. Skillfully done. I'll get one of those VNAs.

I didn't know that that could be done with a Nano VNA. That was very interesting! 73's

That $53.95 ad for a set of pick-up loops for an MFJ cracked me up! That's as much as an entire NanoVNA. Thanks for the videos. Some good hams, including you are turning into YouTube Elmers and creating a body of work that can teach hams of any level how to build, how to repair, how to design, even everything about atmospherics, or tips and tricks. And the info just grows continually. It's a wonderful thing. Now, if we could just get rid of some of the Baofeng unboxing videos. :)<br>Thank you.

Inspired by this video, I did a few tests myself. I found that SWR was by far the most stable parameter to use on a wide bandwidth, like 5-100 mhz, and on a short bandwidth, like 10-20mhz, delay gave a very sharp dip. My pickup coil for 5-120 mhz is 5 turns at 40mm dia. for 100-450 mhz, I used 3 turns of 12mm dia.
