PCB's (Mercury + Metis + Penelope). The Apache Labs ANAN includes the Hermes design in a series of new transceivers. The ANAN 10 provides either a 100 baseT or Gigabit (1000 baseT) Ethernet inerface to the host PC. It does not require a sound card DSP, Firewire(TM), or USB interface.
Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide Suitable routers or LAN Network switches: Full Duplex wired or wireless Ethernet Router with sufficient ports to connect the host computer and the ANAN- 10 at 100mbs or 1000mbs (gigabit recommended) – 802.11N required to handle 30Mbps from ANAN-10.
Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide Here is what you need to get started with the ANAN-10 ANAN-10 Hardware Requirements 1. 13.8vdc minimum, 7A Note: some switching DC supplies create objectionable EMI/RFI which may degrade performance of the ANAN-10 transceiver. 2. Ham band resonant 50 ohm HF antenna and Dummy Load required for calibration.

Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide Manual PA Calibration Each ANAN-10 owner needs to manually calibrate the Transmitter Power Output settings within PowerSDR™ to ensure proper operation. Some versions of PowerSDR™ offered an “Automatic Calibration”. Please do not use any automatic calibration routine. Manual calibration per band is the only recommend method at this time.
Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide Manual Calibration continued The PA Settings TAB allows you to set (calibrate) the ANAN-10 Power Amplifier gain by band (dB – Power Output per Band) for each of the available Ham Bands. There is a up/down gain control for each band, which regulates the PowerAmplifier output for that band.
Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide Microphone Settings Adjusting mic gain . The ANAN-10 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-10 Users Guide 7. Press your mic PTT button or click the "MOX" button on the main form to key the radio. With the radio keyed and while speaking into the mic in a normal voice adjust mic gain for peaks at 0db 8.
Apache Labs ANAN-10 Users Guide Transmit – by Bill KC9XG The Setup, Transmit tab is used to set various transmit parameters. The "Profiles" dropdown allows you select various transmit profiles. The default profile is (strangely enough) "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-10 Users Guide Tuning the PowerSDR receiver. by Bill KC9XG Your ANAN-10 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 PowerSDR 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"...
