Read BVARC Beacon “The Radio Hotel” from Feb and March. A bit of insight into measurements and gadgets to do them. Including lots of links to that portion of the RF world.
There is a Kindle book about using the Nano VNA. $4. Nicely done. Also BVARC Tech-Pages has an article “Blame it on IZO” about caution doing measurements in high RF rich environments ie. Local AM stations, etc. A caveat of low power lab type test equip in the outside world. Glad ur enjoying the box and new knowledge. Helps to make it all make sense.
