Beware of cheap underperforming clones

As of 2022 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.

See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.

USING THE NANOVNA AND SAVER TO MEASURE CM ATTENUATION THROUGH CMCs

A very nice tutorial but this is only half of the story.
For example, the attached S21 chart would suggest
that this is a decent choke but examine the second chart.

Dragan:

I have not seen a way to plot the second chart. Please let me know and
I'll take a look at my chokes in that respect. The dotted lavender line in
the second plot looks like series resonance somewhere near 7.5 MHz.

It's a SimSmith graph, I have attached the circuit and the S file that was
used:
