All,
I hope this is moderately on-topic... my miniVNA Tiny had a cold solder on the
jack which led to partial detachment. Long story short, I opened it up and
between myself and a solder tech at our ESD solder station, got it soldered
back down. No more connection issues.
But... it only ever returns one sweep shape when I run a test, no matter what
is connected to DUT or DET. :( Not sure if it got zapped in transit somehow,
or what.
If anyone has ideas, I would really appreciate a contact off-list. So far
miniRS has not returned my request for help but I will try the miniVNA list too.
Meanwhile - and more on-topic - I am at a total standstill for UHF and
microwave antenna construction which is SUPER irritating given the recent
antenna suggestions here. Does anyone have a replacement in mind that won't
break the bank? Portable is great but even retired lab equipment would be fine.
Thanks!
Patrick - KB8DGC
