"Don't worry about this, just ignore that, skip all of those options and just click here ..." I love this video. Thank you so much for an explanation so I can do something without studying rocket science first! 🙏
I tested two antennas within 1 hour of opening the box. This video hits the mark! Made a complicated device and made it simple. THANK YOU for keeping it real!
I'm in my 50's and have had many instructors on various topics over the years. You have done a great presentation! I'm looking forward to diving into your other videos. Thank you!
You are a spring chicken.... wait until you hit the BIG 59!, 😉😷😆 The IMSAI GUY is hands-down ->>. The BEST instructor on RF topics I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Fortunately, the CCP launched a bio-weapon attack on the world... the following DemonCrat Lock-Downs have enabled us to have a tremendous amount of spare time to Binge Watch RUclips videos. 😣🇺🇸
Thank you for such a clear tutorial without all the useless babble others seem to enjoy spewing out ! Have been holding off on one of these but now placing an order.
As a 70 yr old, your video was exceptionally well made with very clear instructions even for an old guy. Well done! I look forward to your other videos.
This is the best video I've found in terms of cutting to the chase, and simply explaining how to use the device to do what the vast majority of people will want to use it for. One video I watched a guy spent half the video blabbing and the second half showing but not explaining. It was a waste of my life to watch it.
I followed you with my new nanavna and what a great tutorial, I would have never figured it out on my own. Thank you from an 80 year old ham. 73 from kf4vot.
As others have said, this is the clearest step by step demonstration anywhere on RUclips. Although I muddled my way through the others in a hit and miss fashion, eventually getting it to do what I wanted, I always felt that I may have done something wrong. Now with this, I can get things right first time. Thank you
I bought a Nano VNA purely to tune a HF antenna. It didn't come with any instructions and was impossible to use without any prior knowledge of the device. I had no idea it had to be calibrated or what the "open", "short" and "load" connectors were. I watched several videos but most did not explain clearly how to use it, and none explained whhich connectors were open, short and load. This video is by far the best and explained how to calibrate and use the device. I have now learned how to use my device to tune my antenna. (I had to buy a SO239 to SMA adapter.) Thank you for this excellent video! Without it I would have never used the Nano VNA and would have ended up spending many times more on a Rig Expert which is not really necessary as I only occasionally need to use a device like this, so the cheap Nano vna suits me fine. THANKS AGAIN!
Superb tutorial. Many Thanks. The only point I'd add is I'd never connect my antenna adaptor/co-ax directly to the unit's SMA as it is way too fragile. Always use the short SMA to SMA tail onto the VNA and connect your antenna adaptor to the other end of the tail. Things last much longer this way.
Great video! I bought it to tune a home-brew antenna. This thing is so far beyond most users it takes a talented teacher to bring it down to what most need to understand, kudos. After learning the basics, I look forward to playing with more advanced functions in the future.
Yes! A GREAT beginners how to use a NanoVNA! Looking forward to watching your very simple yet thorough enough style of explanation of more complex topics as well. I've been doing this kinda stuff for 50+ years myself & your cut to the chase attitude is very refreshing & most welcome.Thank You!
I'm in my 60's and new to Amateur Radio. You've made what looks like a scarily scientific bit of kit, understandable, even to me. If you're not in a teaching profession, then students in your country are missing out. Subscribed.
I've watched a number of videos on the Nano VNA. Yours is by far the best. You hit on many key details others miss, such as saving calibration and rescaling, with great detail into what people need to know while skipping more advanced information that would just complicate things for beginners. Thank you.
Wow. I've been building and experimenting with antennas all my life and just got ordered of these. This is one of the most comprehensive tutorial on these.
Many thanks for your tutorial. Recently bought one. Oh heck where do we start. Duffle around and worked out the menu. But got no further. So ytube search saved the day. Just made a 4m half wave vertical and ended up adjusting in the conventional Manor. So thanks I now have the info I need to use this vna. I can see a lot of good use for this later with all the other features for circuit design. De. Gw4gja ken
Add my thanks to the others here for an excellent video on getting started with the Nano VNA! This is primarily what I bought mine for, to check my homebrew antenna SWR. Your video is concise, to the point, and at the right speed where I was able to follow along. Great job sir!
You're right. It's complicated - (and I'm old.) That means it does a whole lot of things that other gear doesn't. Fortunately we have you and 1 or 2 others on RUclips who understand it and take the time to teach us. It's very much appreciated. The dozens of people doing videos of opening their new NanoVNA's and describing the packaging, (and admitting they have no clue how to turn it on or what it does,) not so much. During my tech career I never had the time to really play with some of the more sophisticated equipment and truly learn how to use it, and I certainly couldn't afford to buy my own . That frustrated me for years. 've already watched about 10 of your NanoVNA videos, 2 or 3 of them more than once. I find jumping back and forth between your videos and the actual NanoVNA on my bench to be a near perfect way to learn to use it. Again, thank you.
henlij You gottit.. In the computer world that quality is rare. They know stuff inside out but not a clue how to teach. I'm a musician and took up teaching. My training for it told me..."if you want to know how a beginner feels, change round your hands on the instrument...That's how they feel! This guy's good,
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Most of the NanoVNA-F videos are a fire hydrant of information. Yours was still a fire hydrant but at a lower pressure. It did however get me into the menu and I starting making my own manual. I found writing out the steps is a good way of learning the muscel memory required to get that foundation knowledge. I love my NanoVNA-F
I needed to trim a 20m dipole for digital modes. This no-fuss video was tremendously helpful for setting up my NanoVNA to help perform this task. Thank you!!
Thank you! I've been looking for a real "beginners" video. So many of the others whipped through the menu settings, and what the load, short, and open, caps were. You took your time and actually explained what was needed to get started.
Thank you. I've had this thing for three months, and was scared to pull it out. This was a very well done starter video. Got right to the point, showed steps clearly. Mine is now OUT of the box and charging!
All I need the NanoVNA for is SWR (at least for starters). You took all the mystery out of it. Thank you. I've been building my own antennas and after watching your video, I'm good to go.
This is the third 'how to setup your nanovna video' I've watched. I was able to look at my antenna on multiple frequencies before you were even done. Thank you so much for an easy to understand video to get me going, and especially thanks for the show and tell on the SMA connectors. Great video!
Any young person getting into ham radio would be fortunate to have you for an "Elmer." You teach what they want/need to know/learn in simple terms, you don't drift from the topic, you know the stuff that will pop into their mind as the presentation goes on and addresses it. 73's Mike WB4DCW
I've had my VNA for a few years now, used your video to get me started. It's been a while since I used it, so I went back online to see if there are any tutorials, having forgotten about yours. I rediscovered yours, and still maintain that it's best way to get started. Fine work! 73
Definitely my hat is off for how well you explained how to measure SWR (VHF/UHF) of my antenna using my new NanoVNA, I'm going to hopefully find more of your videos to explain some of the other functions. The key for me is remembering everything you taught.
Thank you! My new Nano is charging and the instructions I found online were not helpful. You just saved me an Amazon return! Your presentation was spot on! I'm now very confident I can do an SWR in the various bands. You rock!
I have been watching your video whilst playing with my new Nano VNA which arrived yesterday evening. The sole reason I bought it was for measuring the SWR of an aerial and your vid has shown me what I need to know, cheers mate! Your relaxed but confident style is great and made it much easier to absorb the information. At 55 years old I find it much harder to learn things as the years go by but you really helped :)
Excellent I had watched a number of videos on the Nano VNA. All were either difficult or overly complicated. This presentation was clear and to the point. Thank you so much.
This video is almost insultingly easy to follow and I love it! You are extremely pedagogical. Great work! And I’m buying a nanovna in part because of this video.
I have had my NanoVNA-H for a little while, but some of your explanations and shortcuts are great. Definitely a subscriber now. I'm 66 and been a Ham for about 30 years. Thanks for sharing! Mike VE3FE
Great introduction to the Nano VNA, just what I have been looking for. I'm a complete newbie not just to the Nano VNA but radio as a whole. My present interest is chasing weather balloons with my grandkids and antenna matching seems to be an important subject. Although not a stranger to diy electronics I was getting lost with how complicated some videos seemed to make using the Nano VNA. I have followed your instructions with ease and getting useful results. Thank you for this RUclips tutorial.
Straight and to the point. I love this instructional video. This helped me do exactly what I bought the NANOVNA for to start with. I will definitely look at your other videos as I progress in my learning. Thanks!!
Excellent video that satisfies the needs of most people who purchase this device. If I buy one, you have given me the confidence that I can figure it out and get my money's worth. Thank you
Amazing! I had just gotten my nanovna and actually said word for word "this thing is too complicated, I can't use it" and then "all I want to do is check swr on an antenna! And then there was this video!
Great little tool. I used it yesterday to tune my 1st 20m dipole. Worked great. And its 5 times cheaper then a RigExpert antenna analyzer. Thanks for great camera and mic work.
Thank you so very much for doing this video. I've been wanting to get a NANOVNA for a long time but was afraid I'd never figure out how to use it. After your video I went out and purchased one. Better to spend $50 than $400 when all I want to do is check an antenna. Hopefully I'll figure out how to do more with this little unit, so you've given me a lot of inspiration.
THANK YOU! I was ready to throw this darn thing in the garbage. I watched a couple other videos and good heavens, what a disaster. I'm only interested in SWR and this video is golden.
A massive thank you for your excellent tutorial on the Nova VNA..On watching your instructions I went ahead and bought one, and it works very well too. Now I know which of my many handy talkie antennas that are dodgy..
I was somewhat hesitant about the learning curve, my personal swr was about 50:1, than I ran across your presentation, wow, truth in advertising NANOVNA made simple, thank you.
Excellant tutorial for us ham's chasing home brew antenna swr's, very strait foreword and to the point. Thanks, I can learn the other features as I go on. Mine came today, can't wait to use it on my home brew buddies stick, and base coil vertical next week.
What a great presentation, I've learned precisely what I needed to know about the VNA, your explanation in this video was the best video I have seen on this topic. Thanks!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I have been trying for some time to find a great explanation to use my VNA. I was ready to fine tune mine with a wammer. I only want to use it for antenna tuning. Carl
Nice work on this video. A friend of mine loaned me his VNA - after 6 videos, I was done with it, but then... I found your video. Hooray! Thanks for boiling it down for VNA newbies!!
Thanks for this basic introduction, and especially for targeting the most common use! I am studying the ARRL antenna handbook, so the advanced features will certainly come in handy later, but your production is an excellent jump-start into the NanoVNA basic functionality, and the related tasks for setting it up for antenna characteristics.
thank the lord for your 'simply explained' video..I did try watching a few videos on the same subject from other contributors but the guys presenting were just lost in technical jargon...You made it simple, concise, wonderful!! you have a new subscriber!!
Outstanding! I purchased this after someone raved about it, and could not figure out how to work it. Thank you for simplifying a very complex little box.
My, my, the aircraft designer Kelly Johnson would not read a report over 20 pages, your explanation is exemplary, and read right along with the Menu Map. The best, thank you.
CAUTION! Never screw the load CAL connector too tight. Too much force can break the connection between the inner pin and its 50 ohm load resistor. Slightly more than finger tight is all you need. (Professionals often use a torque wrench set to 3-5 in·lbf (0.3 to 0.6 N·m) ; but finger tight + a little is fine!)
Can't thank you enough for this video which got me up and running and able to test my two antennas which is all I needed for now, will go onto the more advanced stuff in time :)
Thanks for simplifying this device for me! I'm 40 yrs removed from my EE days and some other videos although excellent in a technical sense, kind of left me in the dust.
Thank you for your excellent tutorial that I followed step by step. After that I have a clear picture of my antennas. I have to say that it is the best video on the topic NanoVNA. Greeting from a SWL in France.
"Don't worry about this, just ignore that, skip all of those options and just click here ..." I love this video. Thank you so much for an explanation so I can do something without studying rocket science first! 🙏
I had watched several videos trying to figure out how to get started. This is quite simply the best explanation I've found.
One of the best NanoVNA tutorials on RUclips.😎

A lot of youtubers waffle to pad out the video and don’t get to the point.
Just great! Loved it. Finally someone that explains it in a manner that can be fully and easily understood! Thank you!!!
You are a FANTASTIC teacher. Just received my NanoVNA H and after attempting to understand the manual was about to send it back... THANK YOU :)

65 helping the elderly 55 LOL
What a brilliantly simple video, thanks buddy, you got me up and started in no time :)
Would love this kind of video for measuring coax length, loss, and how to identify possible faults. Thanks for the videos!
Possibly his other videos on the nanovna get into this...
Excellent I had watched a number of videos on the Nano VNA. All were either difficult or overly complicated. This presentation was clear and to the point. Thank you so much.
This video was exactly what I was looking for to help guide me through measuring a homebrew antenna's SWR . Thank you!
There's been some very good teachers on RUclips of late and you sir are definitely one. Thank you.
what others are on your list? I'd like to learn from them
@@IMSAIGuy They're all to do with amateur radio exam calculations. Ohm, capacitors, series, parallel etc etc.
This video is almost insultingly easy to follow and I love it! You are extremely pedagogical. Great work!
And I’m buying a nanovna in part because of this video.
I just got mine today and this video was the best I’ve seen so far. Thank you and 73.
Short, simple and straightforward. Very good 👍
You have a great gift for connecting to your audience with simple folksy communication techniques. I hope that is something that never changes!
I had watched few other videos on this topic, but none of them were that much understandable, but this video made everything clear. TY!

Welcome!
u saved my nano,s life ... i was so close to trowing it to the floor lol. thank u so much.....
Excellent talk through ,thank you for making time to do this
Best explanation I have found for swr on an antenna, THANKYOU.
Thanks for this great video. Saved a lot of time checking the VSWR on my antenna.
A brilliant video for SWR on this very clever piece of gear, great thanks.
Well done, a very informative and very simple instructional video to follow, the best I have seen
Best tutorial I have found to use the nanovna for SWR!!! That is what I bought it for!! Thanks!!!
Thank you for giving me the confidence to order this neat little gadget!!
Outstanding! I purchased this after someone raved about it, and could not figure out how to work it. Thank you for simplifying a very complex little box.
Glad it helped!
My, my, the aircraft designer Kelly Johnson would not read a report over 20 pages, your explanation is exemplary, and read right along with the Menu Map. The best, thank you.
This is an excellent presentation!! THANK YOU. I made lots of notes and will check out your other videos soon.
CAUTION! Never screw the load CAL connector too tight. Too much force can break the connection between the inner pin and its 50 ohm load resistor. Slightly more than finger tight is all you need. (Professionals often use a torque wrench set to 3-5 in·lbf (0.3 to 0.6 N·m) ; but finger tight + a little is fine!)
The scrolling wheel was nice to see because I do not see the scale labels. Very well explained. I feel like I could tune an antanna now. Thank you!
Best to the point explanation of NanoVNA SWR operation I have found. Thank you!!!
Holly cow..... very nice explanation. A gold star. Thanks for your time and efforts......
Can't thank you enough for this video which got me up and running and able to test my two antennas which is all I needed for now, will go onto the more advanced stuff in time :)
The best description out there….thank you so much
Clear, concise, and excellent instruction! Thank you Sir!
Thanks for simplifying this device for me! I'm 40 yrs removed from my EE days and some other videos although excellent in a technical sense, kind of left me in the dust.
Thank you for your excellent tutorial that I followed step by step. After that I have a clear picture of my antennas. I have to say that it is the best video on the topic NanoVNA. Greeting from a SWL in France.
Very clear exposition, I'm retired but a newbie to the black art of rf, think I'll be getting one,, and looking at more of your tutorials.
