Thanks for the submission. Author here if you have any questions.

Do you have a link to the files on github? I assume https://github.com/Ttl/vna2 is the older version?

It's not on Github, but I do have schematic at the end of the blog post. vna2 is the previous version.

Not a technical question, just want to say I really appreciate your projects! I work with a group of radar engineers and they were absolutely floored by your €800 C-band polarimetric SAR drone.

Any tips for working on hobby RF/microwave projects and staying motivated while doing them? I am an EE and have a long list of projects I want to do at home, but I can never seem to find the time to do them.

I have also had issues with motivation. I had a long pause from about 2019 to 2024 where I didn't work on personal electronics projects because I didn't have enough motivation. This and last year however I have been very productive and it's hard to say what exactly changed, just felt like working on them.
