I am within 3 miles from a 5KW AM station on 970 kHz without a problem. I do pick up the second harmonic on 1940 but never go that high in the band. You may have second or third harmonic IX but that

I meant -- how does the VNA work in the presence of strong AM signals. My vertical has worked great when used as an antenna on 160 for the past 30 years. I know how the vertical works. K4TO _________

The 2 port version output level is only -17 dBm, which is also the likely level for this version. This is only 56 dB over S9. That does not bode well for BCB interference. I could try my 2 port unit

By two-port version I think you mean the SDR-Kits VNWA (DG8SAQ); the FA-VA5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Z7veGV57o) is an entirely different animal by a different designer (both Germans however

The other "easy" approach is to use a BCB high pass or band reject filter on the output of the FA-VA5 and "calibrate it out." That is run the OSL calibration on the cable coming out of the highpass/b
