Hardware Setup

Note: DO NOT TURN ON THE RADIO AT THIS! TIME The ANAN-100/D Apache Radio will not operate without
properly configured software.
WARNING: If a mono plug or a shorted stereo plug is inserted into the rear panel Speaker jack, damage will
occur to the audio output IC. Do NOT short these stereo pins or connect either side to ground!
DO NOT TURN THE ANAN-100/D RADIO ON until P*SDR software is properly installed.
The following connection instructions assume the ANAN-100/D jumper settings are at factory
defaults.
1. Install the 4 supplied rubber feet.
The ANAN-100/D transceiver should be placed to allow unobstructed airflow around and beneath the housing.
Damage can occur if the ventilation openings on the bottom or rear panel of the ANAN-100/D are blocked. Allow
room for airflow between the housing and other equipment.
2. Connect the supplied 13.8VDC cable to the rear panel power connector and to a filtered 13.8VDC +/- 5%,
power supply capable of providing up to 25A.
3. Connect a suitable ground cable to the rear panel ground terminal and to a suitable RF ground, in
accordance with good amateur practices.

load capable of dissipating 100 watts for at least 5 minutes.
5. Connect powered stereo speakers, or a stereo headset to the front panel 1/8"/3.5mm stereo jack. Note: Do
NOT connect powered stereo speakers or headsets to the rear panel speaker jack! This is a balanced output
