Introduction

ANAN-100/D is a 100W Amateur Radio direct-down-conversion (DDC) and direct-up-conversion (DUC) Software
Defined HF transceiver plus 6 Meters. The ANAN-100/D has a proud heritage from the ANAN-10 DDC/DUC 10W
Transceiver introduced in 2012. The ANAN-10 was cooperatively designed by the OpenHPSDR Team and Apache
Labs. Kevin Wheatley M0KHZ and the OpenHPSDR group developed the original "Hermes" brand Transceiver
board as an integrated version of three of their original backplane PCB's (Mercury + Metis + Penelope).
The Apache Labs ANAN equipment includes the Hermes design in a series of new transceivers. The ANAN-100/D
provides a Gigabit (1000 baseT) Ethernet interface to the host PC. The ANAN-100/D does not use a Firewire™,
or USB interface.
Future ANAN-100/D firmware updates can be easily downloaded via the Transceiver standard Ethernet
connection, eliminating the need for special programming adapters.
ANAN-100/D can be used with a number of different PC Software Defined Radio programs including those
written for Windows ® , Linux and MacOS/X

Minimum Requirements

Computer basic requirements

1. Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz (bare minimum), or Intel i3, 2.8Ghz or better (recommended).
2. 4GB Ram, or 6GB Ram (recommended).
3, 1280x1024 display screen (or higher) resolution recommended
4. Windows XP or newer (Win7 recommended). It is possible some older machines will not give
satisfactory performance, regardless of processor speed.
5. Computer with Full Duplex Ethernet NIC card capable of 1000 baseT/Gigabit Ethernet.
6. Full Duplex Ethernet switch or router with 1 free 1000Mbs Ethernet port.
7. CAT5E or CAT6 (recommended) Ethernet patch cable to connect ANAN-100/D to Ethernet switch, router
or computer.
Older and slower computers may require considerable optimization before they can provide necessary
performance for trouble free SDR operation. This optimization may require that certain applications and services
be stopped in order for Hermes to operate correctly. It is possible some older machines will not give satisfactory
performance, regardless of processor speed.
