Apache Labs ANAN-100/D Make a note of your ANAN-100/D Transceiver unique MAC address since this will be useful if there is a need for network problem-solving in the future. WARNING: Make sure you have selected the proper radio model from the selections on the LEFT side of the Hardware Configuration box.
An incorrect default value is 169.254.1XX.XXX. P*SDR™ will display the currently assigned IP address and MAC address of the ANAN-100/D Hermes board if the LAN connection is properly connected and configured. If the ANAN-100/D IP ADDRESS remains 0.0.0.0 then you must determine if P*SDR and your PC network connection is operating correctly.

Apache Labs ANAN-100/D Antenna use and switching in ANAN-100/D There are many Antenna switching options for the Apache Labs ANAN-100/D. Below you see a screen picture of the Setup,General Ant/Filters, Antenna tab. The 1, 2, 3 selections correspond to the rear panel ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 BNC connectors. You can select different antennas for receive and transmit on each band.
Page 28
Apache Labs ANAN-100/D Note the Antenna Control box on the right allows you to control the following options: 1. Software SWR Protection. Enabling this option will reduce power output when high SWR levels are detected. 2. Disable on Tune Pwr < 10W.
HPF/LPF Filters and switching in ANAN-100/D The ANAN-100/D have a very effective set of High Pass Filters (HPF) and Low Pass Filters (LPF), available on the Setup, General, Ant/Filters/HPF/LPF tab. The HPF and LPF are automatically selected as you change bands, according to the settings on this form.
Apache Labs ANAN-100/D OpenCollector BCD example by VK6APH This is an example provided by Phil Harman VK6APH of how to code the P*SDR/OpenHPSDR Power_mRX program to give a BCD (binary coded decimal) output for control of external equipment (such as band information for a Linear Amplifier).
7. Select the PA settings TAB on the Setup menu window. The PA Settings TAB allows you to set (calibrate) the ANAN-100/D Power Amplifier gain by band (dB – Power Output per Band) for each of the available Ham Bands. There is an up/down gain control for each band, which regulates the Power Amplifier output for that band.
Apache Labs ANAN-100/D Setup PA settings Band: 8. Select one of the bands on the PA settings TAB. 9. Ensure you have the Setup ---> Transmit tab ---> Tune control set to 100 and a 150W or larger Dummy Load connected to the selected antenna port on the ANT/FILTERS setup tab.
Adjusting mic gain . The ANAN-100/D microphone gain must be adjusted for each microphone used with the radio. The internal jumpers JP4, JP5, and JP6 on the Hermes board must be set properly for the type of microphone used. See the reference section of this document for the jumper settings, or refer to the document by Phil Harman VK6APH: http://svn.tapr.org/repos_sdr_hpsdr/trunk/Hermes/Documentation...

Apache Labs ANAN-100/D Transmit – Author Bill KC9XG The Setup, Transmit tab is used to set various transmit parameters. The "Profiles" drop down menu allows you select various transmit profiles. The default profile is "Default". You can modify profile settings on this tab and save them to a profile name you select, or you can just modify the included profiles to your liking.
Apache Labs ANAN-100/D Tuning the P*SDR receiver. Author Bill KC9XG Your ANAN-100/D is a "knobless" radio. Most functions are performed on a PC with the mouse or via keyboard commands. Preliminary receiver setup: 1. On the left side of the P*SDR window, locate the "AGC Gain" control and set the slider to 90. This control works similar to an RF gain control, but actually controls the level where the "Automatic Gain Control"...

Apache Labs ANAN-100/D APPENDIX - A – Computer performance Computer Performance Processing of streaming data in real-time can be a challenging task for Windows-based applications and device drivers. This is because by design Windows is not a real-time operating system. There is no guarantee that tasks can be executed in a deterministic (timely) manner.
"Terms of Use". IMPORTANT The FPGA and other components on the ANAN-100/D PCBs can be damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). When handling the PCB, you should take ESD precautions (e.g. use a work bench with an antistatic mat on it and wear a grounded wrist strap).
