Apache Labs LLC, Inc. - Declarations of Conformity The ANAN-7000DLE MKII complies with FCC Part 97 rules for the Amateur Radio Service. It has been confirmed by the relevant authorities that the ANAN-7000DLE MKII DOES NOT require FCC certification. Under rule 97...
Page 6: Anan-7000Dle Architecture
Use of two 16-bit phase synchronous ADCs allow for advanced applications such as Diversity reception for ultimate noise mitigation and effects of signal fading. The ANAN-7000DLE MKII HF & 6M 100W SDR Transceiver offers top of the line performance in a rugged package, it is based on the work of the OpenHPSDR community.

(2) sharp “brick-wall” linear-phase filters inherently have long latency, no matter how cleverly they are implemented. Both these issues have been addressed and conquered in the ANAN-7000DLE MKII Transceiver. Small “buffers”, requiring little collection time, can now be used even while retaining the very sharp “brick-wall”...
Page 10: Introduction
Note - ANAN-7000DLE i5/i7 (embedded): The ANAN-7000DLE MKII i5/i7 integrate an embedded computer inside the radio chassis, the monobloc SDR is preloaded with Windows 10 and PowerSDR mRX is configured at the factory, all basic settings such as PA and Rx level calibration is done at the factory.
Page 12: Suitable Routers Or Lan Network Switches
A 100 BaseT Ethernet switch may be used in the interim, but if a new purchase is planned then a 1000 BaseT [Gigabit] switch is recommended. An Ethernet “HUB” will not work properly and is not recommended. Note: an Ethernet Surge Protector is recommended for all delicate Ethernet equipment.
