I’m looking to get a meter of some sorts to check antenna SWR and tune. I was searching and came across the NanoVNA and the price seems good. Is it more than I need? I just want to tune antennas is all. Would I be better off with the SWR/Power meter instead?
Thanks in advance.
I just picked up a single band tuned to 465.000 and so far its performance has been good. I don’t have a SWR measuring device yet, but it outperforms my UT-72.
One thing I’ve done, once you get a repeater working from programming it on the radio, read it with chirp and see what it looks like on the channel line on the software. Then I use similar settings when setting up the next repeater through chirp.
You can scan all channels by going into the menu and changing the scan group to all.
and it can scan 2 separate groups at a time, one on top row, one on bottom row.
further, in the software, you can set custom scan groups to select from.
