Nanovna-H4 Ham Band display


 

HelloI have a Nanovna-h4. Sweeping a multi band EFHW antenna 3-30Mhz for SWR to see how things line up with the Ham bands. Saw in the past where vertical strips of the Ham bands were displayed on the screen. How do I do get them displayed?  Could not find online how.

The way a VNA works is sweep frequencies from just below ham to just above.
You can uncheck all your traces except SWR and see the entire range, Placing a marker at the dips will show information on the top bar. (freq, swr, etc.)
I know the chart you refer to, it would be a lot of work to integrate that into the GUI.
Note the frequencies of your dips and make up your own chart.


 

That's a feature on nano save on the pc. Or, you could add markers to the
display to show the beginning/middle of each band.

Don, is it possible what you saw were screenshots of the TinySASaver
software and not of the device itself?

If so, you can turn on the 'Band Plans' in Display setup, in the lower left
corner

Then about half way down on the right side, check the box for 'Show Bands'.
You can also change the color of the vertical stripe there.

Note: You can also edit the band plans, as by default, they're - I believe
- ITU region 1, not region 2 for us 'Merikans - close! But different

Thanks all,
Will checkout TinySA Saver and NanoVNA Saver. That's probably where I saw the Ham bands shown. Got a basic TinySA and a NanoVNA-H4 but haven't connected to my PC much.
